A wayward sea lion was found by Oakland police early this morning after it took a stroll onto northbound Interstate Highway 880. The rapscallion sea lion was detained in an Oakland police vehicle for being very, very bad. Eventually, someone from the Marine Mammal Center arrived to take the animal. While the creature's condition is not yet known, judging by the image at right, it looks like it got a good scare. (Adorable little sea lions shouldn't be anywhere near Nimitz Freeway, officials scolded.) According to KRON 4, when the OPD officers pulled up and opened the back door of their squad car, "the sea lion hopped right in."

Being an Oakland sea lion, it's been in the back of a squad car before.

just another case of aquatic mammals trying to fuck you over. It's pathetic really.
