According to grindtv.com, because of a warm-water occurrence happening for the past several months,  sea lions have been having difficulty finding food off the coast in California. The occurrence has also caused the displacement of baitfish populations. Moreover, undernourished sea lions have been found on the shoreline.

Although sea lions are believed to be not dangerous to humans, experts advise not to approach these creatures just to be safe.
