Sea Lion Identified...


Crafty "Sea Lion" Befuddles Engineers CASCADE LOCKS, Ore. (AP) -
A particularly crafty sea lion was befuddling the Army Corps of Engineers, who have come to believe the 1,000-pound mammal is either from hell - or from Harvard. The sea lion and his ilk have been camping out at the base of the Bonneville Dam and munching chinook salmon, until a local visiting scientist realized that it wasn't a sea lion, after all.

"It's a well known fact that the Chinook Salmon make their run this time of year," Professor Thornton Gravely said, "And it's not all that unusual for other obese mammals to arrive at the scene to partake of all that fat and protein. At first all I could see was an immense, amorphous blob, but when we studied the photographs it was easy to determine what it was we were actually looking at."
