SAN DIEGO — A starving sea lion has been rescued after finding its way into the booth of a fancy San Diego restaurant.
Experts at SeaWorld were called Thursday morning to The Marine Room, an oceanfront restaurant in La Jolla.

The pup was taken to SeaWorld’s Animal Rescue Center, and experts are cautiously optimistic about her recovery.
