Summer-like weather is here. The sun is too bright. I get too hot. I wish it was autumn already.

It’s no wonder that Baruti the lion appears to have a smile on his face. Not only has he got a brand new home, but a rather tasty housewarming present too. The two-year-old made his public debut at Calgary Zoo in Canada. Baruti and fellow lion Aslan were born at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. on September 22, 2010. The pair have been in Calgary since late July 2012 and after completing a quarantine period they were slowly introduced to the zoo’s two female lions. Now that they are fully settled in the pair have been let loose in the zoo’s African Savannah exhibit. Picture: QMI Agency / Rex Features
The crisis facing California sea lions
State officials have declared an “unusual mortality event” for California sea lions, after an unusually high number of pups barely clinging to life have recently washed ashore.
For a sense of the sheer number of pups who have reportedly been found washed up:
In Los Angeles County, nearly 400 pups have been stranded since the beginning of the year. Last year, 36 were reported during that stretch.
As of March 24, officials said, 214 sea lions were reported stranded in San Diego County, 189 in Orange County, 108 in Santa Barbara County and 42 in Ventura County.
