Sea lion visits Brazilian city street, stops traffic

A sea lion decided to spend an evening in the city on Saturday, maybe catch a movie and go for a stroll.

According to Brazilian media, the creature crawled out of the ocean and found its way onto one of the busiest streets in Balneario Camboriu, Brazil. Don't worry, it used the crosswalk.

Crowds gathered as authorities shut down traffic and kept onlookers from getting too close. The animal wiggled across the street and stopped to look around. A biologist told media the sea lion might have emerged to take a rest from swimming and fishing, according to the blog Nothing to do with Arbroath.

Another video shows the sea lion crawling out of the ocean to embark on his city adventure, pulling himself up onto the sand.

The sea lion opens its mouth wide as beach visitors whip out their cell phones for pictures. Later, while the sea lion laid on the pavement in the middle of the road, authorities poured water on it to keep it hydrated.

With all those humans lavishing attention on it, who can blame our sea lion friend for making an excursion into people land?
