Giant Sea Lion Spotted Citizens scared, amazed Today - Our City A giant sea lion was spotted today rampaging around the city's main square, scaring thousands of innocent people just out for a daily stroll in the beautiful downtown district. No injuries were reported after the animal's two-hour assault of the shopping district famous for it's sea lion purses and shoes, also known as the "sea lion district". Witnesses said the creature came out of the ocean near the Burger King at 42nd and 1st Avenue, startling many and stalling traffic. "The animal caused nearly four million dollars of damage to the neighborhood," said Joseph Valente, owner of "Sea Lions R' Us" at 43rd and 2nd. Onlookers to the scene said that the sea lion appeared ornery, but otherwise in good spirits. Officials are uncertain as to when, if ever, the sea lion may return.Click here for more.
