One Smart Sea Lion

There's this crazy story in the news about a sea lion (named Astro) who was abandoned by his mother. Instead of shacking him up with the Notorious Knut on the Island of Misfit Wild Animals For Profit, he was bottle fed and released back in the water. But Astro so missed human touch he has since twice attempted human contact. The first time he swam under the Golden Gate Bridge and went onshore. They dropped him off 27 miles away from San Francisco but he returned the next week. To join a walk-a-thon. He saw kids doing laps on a course they made and decided to join them for an entire lap.

I think this might be the one time I would say this animal really wants to live in a zoo.
