Authorities tried to determine Monday how a sea lion turned up in the San Joaquin Valley — some 65 miles from the ocean.The animal basked in the sun on the back of a CHP patrol car.”We’re just trying to find out where this sea lion came from. It doesn’t appear to be injured. It just appears to be out on a stroll in the Central Valley for some reason,” CHP office Scott Jobinger said. “We’re thinking maybe somebody dropped it, but there are also a lot of canals in that area.”

We found a hermit crab in Gilroy at the Garlic Festival a couple of years ago. We named him Eric and released him into the Bay.
