Thanksgiving rescue: Baby sea lion saved from highway

On Thanksgiving night, Coronado PD received a call about a baby sea lion crossing southbound lanes of SR75 near Leyte Road. Officers arrived on scene and found the sea lion being ushered across the road by a couple of motorists who had stopped to assist the animal. Officers were able to get it safely into a crate and transport it to the shoreline where they attempted to get it back into the ocean. Well, the little guy had other ideas. He moved towards the waters edge, looked at the ocean, then crawled back into our crate and refused to move. @seaworldsandiego responded to the scene and took the little guy, who was appropriately named Gobble, into custody.
