OMG! Spiritually speaking, whats going on with all the baby sea lions grounding themselves in the SF bay area?

Armageddon? Highly unlikely.

If you know anything about the history of the California beaches and the SF Bay area beaches and the life cycles of sea lions you'll understand that this type of thing has been happening for ages.

Baby Sea Lions, like most baby animals, wander away from their parents (or nests or den or cave), lose physical contact with their parents or siblings, occasionally get lost, become highly disoriented, and seek out any kind of contact with strangers for comfort and help.

It happens with bear cubs, baby ducklings, deer fawns, etc. Because such events may run in cycles when it happens a few times in a short period of time some people suddenly think it's a new trend, a sudden warning. But it's happened ever sense there have been animals, baby animals and humans to come into contact with.

The baby sea lion is lucky. If a baby animal loses contact with it's mother out in the wilderness chances are it will either end up dying of starvation or become the meal of some local wolf or coyote.

Armageddon? No. The natural cycle of life? Most probably.

Thumbs down is for when I think someone is being totally ridiculous or downright rude and insulting. If people do not get a `thumbs down` for promulgating racial hatred, shall we say, other people will look at the answer and think that I and we all agree with or have found no insult or bad feeling contained in the answer. That does not look good to the rest of he world and makes us all appear heartless or indifferent. Some of the garbage spouted out in this section is disgusting to say the least and to let it go `unthumbed` would be morally wrong. Now, reporting is a different matter. I 100% believe in freedom of speech, but I have had the most innocuous answers removed by the religista. How about, "yes a little" as `not an answer` ??? EDIT: At least if you are getting thumbs in any direction, you know people are reading what you say, even if they don`t like it.

Since this science question was posted in R&S, probably by a Creationist (they can't tell the difference), I would have to say the sea lions have joined a cult. Maybe Jim Jones reincarnated as a sea lion?

Remember, that bay belonged to the seals a long time before the humans decided that they were the owners of it. We need to clean the trash out of the bay area and let the seals have it back. A protected harbor to raise their young, Priceless!

Or I could be wrong.

Since IT is SF, maybe these are young gay seal party animals trying to get downtown to party hearty.

Maybe Jaws is cruising the bay.

They sought truth in sea then on earth , hope they just don't turn Atheists *sigh*

Maybe the Navy doing more top secret stuff.

They probably got tired of swimming in their own sh*t in that little corner near the wharf where they have them all penned up.

sea lions always hang out there.

It has to be pollution caused by humans.
