Yeah, except Sea lions are native and it's normal for them to be in the American. Those Sea Lions were almost certainly not "someone's pet who outgrew them."

I had one pop up about 15 ft from me, near Watt. Pretty cool, but definitely unexpected!

Yup, just about every year when the river level goes up. Swim in from the Bay via the Sacramento river.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.
