Imagine going for a walk in the forest and finding, of all things, a sea lion!
A Russian family met an unusual visitor while out walking in the forest. A sea lion pup had wandered far from the sea and was sitting by some trees.
Elena is from Kavalerova, Russia, and said that her parents found the sea lion in the woods. The young animal was around 1,200 feet (400 m) from the ocean.
This sea lion is far from shore.
Elena’s family found him 1,200 feet (400 m) from the water.
Elena said that it looked like the sea lion had walked inland on his own, “There were traces of his flippers in the forest, so it is for sure he got into the forest all by himself.”
He was scared and growled and tried to bite the people trying to help him.
Eventually Elena’s dad was able to get a makeshift leash on him and guide him from the woods.
From there, he was released and directed towards the sea.
The sea lion had to walk along a long dirt road.
It’s quite a long way to get back to the shore.
This way, young pup!
Finally there!
The sea lion knows where to go now.
It looks like he barked happily when he saw the waves.
Getting ready to go home!
He takes a short rest from his long walk!
Bye, bye kind people!
Thank you for your help!
Home at last!
Elena’s parents were able to coax the sea lion out of the woods and guide him safely back to the sea! This young sea lion was lucky that he met some kind people who took such great effort to help him get back home.
Share this wonderful act of kindness with your family and friends!
