SeaWorld San Diego gets furry surprise: a newborn sea lion

SAN DIEGO (AP) — SeaWorld San Diego is caring for a sea lion that was unexpectedly born to a sick mother.

The pup made a live appearance online hours after her birth. The black-furred, flippered newborn is being nursed with a special milk formula through a feeding tube because the mother is too sick to care for her.
