Sea Lion Cuteness.

[onehandle]

'Some time ago Panchita was caught up in a net, which left deep cuts all over her body. She managed to make it to this hotel where animal advocates nursed her back to health for 3 months. Every day she returns to rest after being out to sea. She is now pregnant and expecting within a month.'

1. how anyone could deny animal intelligence, is beyond me.

Good on you, little gal. Have a safe and productive pregnancy.

2. Awwww...what a sweetie.

The sea lion is cute, too.

I wonder what her friends and family think when she says, "I'll see ya in a day or two. Gonna go hang out with the humans at the pool."?

5. Someone needs to bring her a plate of calamari

And oysters on the half-shell.

Bless you, little one, and please forgive us for what we've done to your environment.

6. Rick Santorum would find this very disturbing.

Man on dog is bad enough, but man on sea lion?

7. She looks very comfy.

Life can be so hard on wildlife, it is refreshing to see and read stories like Panchitas! I hope she has a lot of healthy pups!

14. Thanks for making me smile and feel happy about something today!

I love sea lions - well most animals - but they are so cute and playful! When I lived in San Francisco, I used to love to go down to watch all the sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf. They can be very funny creatures as well and they just seem so soulful! It always calmed me down and made me feel better about everything!

16. Oooo, I'd be too tempted to pet her. Their fur must be so soft.

But alas, I'd probably get part of my hand bitten off.

See a fuzzy cat and I wanna touch it
See a furry dog and I wanna touch it
See a baby bear and I wanna touch it
See an Otter play and I wanna touch it
See a little bunny and I wanna touch it
See a mountain lion and I wan*...

18. She's resting on a deck chair

after some poolside cocktails and a swim. Be still my heart, I've never promoted a hotel, but this is an establishment I highly recommend.
