A sea lion pup was found playing on a rooftop deck on Newport Beach in a case that has surfers scratching their heads.Published: 11:35AM BST 23 Apr 2010
Mike Kai thought one of his surfing buddies was thumping around on his deck, and was shocked to discover the wayward sea lion pup, enjoying the view of the beach at sunrise.
Mr Kai said he could not imagine how the animal made it up the stairs and onto the roof early on Thursday.
While Mr Kai called Animal Control, the pup showed off, wiggling along a railing on his belly, two stories above the ground.
The sea lion was taken to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, where volunteers named him Fiddler, after the Broadway musical "Fiddler on the Roof".
Staff there say he is underweight, probably because he was recently weaned and having trouble finding food on his own.
They say sea lions are mobile and curious, and have been found everywhere from a restaurant kitchen to a public lavatory.
