CAPISTRANO BEACH, Calif. — By the time Wendy Leeds reached him, the sea lion pup had little hope of surviving.
Like
more than 1,450 other sea lions that have washed up on California
beaches this year, in what animal experts call a growing crisis for the
animal, this 8-month-old pup was starving, stranded and hundreds of
miles from a mother who still needed to nurse him and teach him to hunt
and feed. Ribs jutted from his velveteen coat.
