Why did the sea lion cross the road? It’s not necessarily a common question but new video has residents in Orange County wondering why such an animal boldly did so.
Video taken by John Dunay shows a juvenile sea lion crossing a major street in Huntington Beach. It wasn’t just any normal road, but arguably one of the most popular seaside roads in California – the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH).
Daring Sea Lions
Drivers just behind the pup appeared to have made a blockade with their vehicles to prevent the young sea lion from getting hit by a car. It safely made its way across the street but its whereabouts now are currently under question.
It appears 2022 is a popular year for sea lions to make daring treks.
In January, a sea lion now known as “Freeway” turned heads on State Route 94 for somehow ending up in the middle of the freeway. A few months later in May, the same wayward sea lion was spotted roaming through a National City drain. And in June, a different sea lion followed suit of ending up in strange places by making its way onto a Carlsbad golf course.
