Adventure-seeking sea lion wanders around a South Australian town

This sea lion is ready to explore.

Travel is so important, and no one knows this better than this adorable sea creature.

A very curious sea lion wandered the streets of the Australian South East town of Port MacDonnell on Monday. The locals seemed to really enjoy their new tourist who appeared to be taking a nice summer stroll to see the sights.

Eventually it was time for the thrill-seeker to return to the great blue sea, not exactly willingly though. Dog catchers had to use a stick and bin to coerce the sea lion to waddle back home.

While the little buddy is pretty cute, it should be noted that it might have wandered into the town searching for food because of human encroachment, overpopulation, or some other ecological hardship.

We wonder if the sea lion will return with some friends to show them his favorite tourist attractions.
