Sea Lion on Prius story--I can't be the first

**efusco** · 01-12-2006, 09:39 AM

I guess it'll take someone with better internet search skills than me to find images and the full story, but I couldn't help but take notice when CNN and Today show showed images of a guy looking at a Sea Lion who'd taken up the roof of his Toyota Prius for a bed in Seattle (I think).

Can't seem to locate the story on the 'net right now, but I thought it was pretty funny and wondered if, by chance, it was a PriusChatter's Prius.

Saw the same clip and can't figure out how he got there. Here's a link to the story with a pic

On Sacramento local news tonight.

I can't imagine one of those things scaling a Prius hood, but there's no other way.
