Sea-Lion Waddles-through street.s of Brazil
I find it wonderful when wildlife comes and interacts with humans, we really don't deserve the luxury after all the damage we do to their environment, and even them personally. If that had been here , that beast would have been butchered.
It looks as though something is wrong with it though, it's lack of fear from us is not natural, especially the popping across the road for a spot of window shopping bit.

Sea lion visits Brazilian city street, stops traffic
It's not every day pedestrians share a crosswalk with a sea lion.
That's the odd scene a crowd of onlookers were treated to in Brazil's Balne?rio Cambori? this weekend.
According to the country's Department of Public Safety, the daring sea lion wandered out of the ocean and waddled through the streets around 5:20 p.m. Saturday, Brazilian news outlet Folha De S. Paulo reports.
Curious pedestrians surrounded the 9-foot-long sea mammal and captured footage as it waddled from the beach down the resort town's Atlantic Avenue.
Firefighters and police, tossing water on the creature, helped the sea lion find its way back to the South Atlantic Ocean by 7 p.m.
The mammal is likely a South American sea lion, typically found along the coasts and offshore islands of the continent. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species, the South American sea lion is considered a species of least concern. While sea lions are not known to regularly leave the beach, a record-breaking number of sea lion pups have washed ashore in California recently, overwhelming area rescue centers.
Watch the sea lion use the crosswalk in the video above, and see the moment the mammal shuffled out of the water onto the Brazilian beach in the clip below.
