An adorable 5-month-old baby sea lion was exhausted after firefighters rescued the little pup who had wandered away from his Bay Area home.
A good citizen called the Redwood City Fire Department after the pup, named Santos, found his way into a local parking garage. Firefighters finally got a rope leash around the sea lion’s neck and took him back to the fire station, where a video shows the cute creature fighting off sleep. He repeatedly dips his head as he struggles to stay awake, undoubtedly worn out after his long adventure.

The Marine Mammal Center brought the sea lion to nearby Sausalito, where he will be treated and monitored before being released. Sea lions and seals are no stranger to the Redwood City area. Bair Island, one of the wetlands south of San Francisco Bay, is one of their havens.
