It was a sight that you don’t see everyday.
Greg Clarke was driving home from the Holberg Radar Station around 2:30 p.m. on Monday, April 12, when he saw a large sea lion just sitting by the side of the road, so he pulled out his phone and shot a video of it.
You see the weirdest things on the way to CCR Holberg

Later that night he posted the video to a Holberg Facebook group where it quickly went viral.
Clarke noted in a Facebook comment that he had contacted DFO and reported the animal, stating it “appears to have gotten out of Goodspeed river at Elephant Crossing and got lost.”
He added the sea lion had probably made its way back to the San Josef river by now.
DFO told media it is monitoring the animal’s progress while it moves back to where it belongs.
