Oregon motorists saw an unusual sight – a stranded sea lion -- on a busy coastal highway Saturday.
Troopers and firefighters responded to the wayward creature, that was “occasionally entering into traffic creating a hazardous condition for motorists and the sea lion” for nearly a kilometre on Highway 101, said Oregon State Police, in a release.
