SAN FRANCISCO: A baby sea lion has been rescued from busy California highway. It was wandered onto a busy highway in South San Francisco Tuesday.

Motorists had tried to shoo the sea lion to safer ground, with one man getting out of his car to herd the sea lion with a handkerchief.

Highway patrol succeeded in getting the animal into a patrol car. The sea lion may have come from a nearby creek. It was taken to the Peninsula Humane Society and will be transported to the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California. The sea lion will then move to a rehabilitation pool to recover. (Agencies)
