Sea lion Pointer, commandeering Point San Pedro Road in San Rafael, left emergency responders googling 'how to handle sea lion on street' and 'can sea lions survive in cities.' Officers, firefighters, and locals corralled Pointer using shields, cardboard, and a litter basket, then watched as he seized the park sprinklers for an impromptu spa treatment. 'Once in the park, the sea lion took advantage of the sprinklers,' police confirmed.

After Pointer's sprinkler spa, responders whisked him to the Marine Mammal Center for treatment of a suspected bacterial infection—leaving locals searching 'can sea lions get sick from land' and 'animal rescue protocol California.' The scenario resembled a crossover between urban traffic jams and nature documentaries, with police warning, 'Even though these animals can appear cute and friendly, they are still wild animals and can be unpredictable.'

Pointer’s reign as San Rafael’s sole sprinkler monarch ended when rescuers, armed with cardboard and a litter basket, spirited him away for rehabilitation and a second shot at wild stardom.
