Dead seal or sea lion

Post by monte300 »

Saw a dead seal or sea lion by the bank in Whiskey Slough today. First dead one I’ve ever seen. It was so bloated I’m not sure which specie it was. With the only predators being man and boat, I’m not sure what killed it? Stunk to high heaven!

Looks like an overdose of Bass eggs and pre spawn glutony.

Zero controls on them critters...

Due to over pumping the Delta it was pulled far , far inland in what was like a reverse "Rip Tide ".
This is also known as "Man Caused Climate Change"
