Upon returning to La Jolla Cove to search for the entangled sea lion from Tuesday, we were devastated to find another distressed sea lion—a female with a severe prolapse. We last saw her around 1 PM on October 23rd, lying near the edge of the cliff at Point La Jolla. We also noticed that her front right flipper is tagged, indicating she has previously been rehabilitated.

Please keep an eye out for her, and if you spot her, call for assistance as soon as possible.
