“This is certainly an anomaly. It’s very, very rare that sea lions bite people,” said a Department of Fish and Wildlife patrol captain.
Megan Pagnini, who was bitten by a sea lion, plays in the surf of Pismo Beach with a sea lion at left.
The 160-pound adult female sea lion was quiet and extremely lethargic when she was captured about 10 p.m. and transferred to the care of the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. Experts at the marine center confirmed she was suffering from domoic acid toxicosis, a toxin produced by algae. Fish feed on the algae and sea lions eat the fish, which can cause buildups of the toxin in larger animals.
