In a photo provided by SeaWorld, an 8-month-old female sea lion pup is shown where it was found sleeping in a booth of the Marine Room, an upscale restaurant in the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego, Thursday, February 4, 2016. Experts were called from nearby SeaWorld, who said the pup was severely underweight and dehydrated. The pup was taken to SeaWorld�s Animal Rescue Center and experts are cautiously optimistic about her recovery. There�s been a surge in sea lion mortality over the past year because, scientists say, the animals� food supply has been affected by higher-than-normal ocean temperatures linked to El Nino.
