The California Highway Patrol rescued a small California sea lion from the shoulder of Northbound Highway 101 near SFO Tuesday morning.
A few people had pulled over to help keep the sea lion safe.
"They were around the sea lion corralling it, making sure it didn't get any farther on to the freeway," Ofc. Pereira said. "Surprisingly it willingly jumped into the back of the patrol car. We opened the door and it just hopped right in," he said.
They took it to the Peninsula Humane Society for safe keeping until a volunteer from the Marine Mammal Center arrived.
