San Francisco is reporting that hundreds of Sea Lions have disappeared from the bay. The population which is normally around 1,500 is now down to about 150.

Scientist are at a loss as to their sudden disappearance. But, then again, scientists are at a loss as to why there were so many Sea Lions in the first place. Some are speculating that the same schools of fish that attracted the Sea Lions to the bay have now moved out to sea and taken the Sea Lions with them.

Of course, when all of the dolphins disappeared in the science fiction series “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”, it was because the earth was going to be destroyed to make room for an intergalactic through way.

Maybe the Sea Lions know something that we don’t.
