About Bearded Dragons:

Bearded dragons are unique lizards with an armor of scales, including a “beard” of spikes under their chin that puffs up depending on their mood. These beautiful, gentle creatures are active during the day and have a lifespan of 4 to 10 years. In the wild, bearded dragons range across most of Australia, typically preferring warm areas such as deserts, subtropical woodlands, and savannas. Although Australia banned the export of wild bearded dragons in the 1960s, they have been bred in the United States for decades for the pet trade.

During our wildlife monitoring walk at La Jolla Cove today, we encountered a troubling sight: a sea lion entangled in a gill net. He was resting close to the cliff wall at Boomer Beach just south of Point La Jolla, appearing severely hurt and not moving.

During our wildlife monitoring walk at La Jolla Cove yesterday, we were disturbed to spot and report a distressed sea lion. We spotted a male sea lion dragging himself on the sand, right flipper appearing to be tied up with a rope, looking very thin and weak.
