 “Australian sea lions suffer from increasing human impact on the environment.”
Keepers attempt to remove a lodged debris which was mistaken for a food item by a sea lion. The object was a piece of rubbish no larger then a 50 cent coin and was removed within 24 hours yet has caused significant swelling, discomfort and a loss of appetite.  Unfortunately with incidents such as these seals in the wild often don’t receive the necessary treatment which they need to survive.
