The large sea lion here was named Sgt. Nevis by the center. It had been shot by a fisherman and was discovered in late November, in the Sacramento Delta, dying. After 4 efforts they managed to rescue the 358 pound sea lion. Latest information was that he was recovering well but may not be released back into the wild due to the injuries and that he had become habituated to living in a dangerous area near downtown Sacramento.
