HNGN: What's causing a record number of sea lion pups to strand in California? Scientists may have found the answer. (Photo : Flickr Commons) Food limitation may be linked to a record sea lion pup stranding in California.

National Public Radio: There are more than two dozen pens at the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, Calif., and no vacancy. They're filled with more than a hundred sea lion pups, grouped by health condition. The pups in the first row of pens are swimming in small pools and sliding across the wet concrete. "These guys on this half of the facility are actually doing pretty well," says Lauren Palmer, the chief biologist at the center. "They're eating on their own. They're playing. They're porpoising."

Harp Seals Abandoning Their Pups Thanks To Climate Change

RedOrbit: Duke University scientists have determined that young harp seals off the eastern coast of Canada are at a greater risk of getting stranded than adult seals due to climate change. Researchers wrote in the open-access journal PLOS ONE that declining sea ice is leaving baby harp seals stranded in greater numbers. "Stranding rates for the region`s adult seals have generally not gone up as sea ice cover has declined; it`s the young-of-the-year animals who are stranding (those less than one year...
