Gigantic Pier 39 celebrity sea lion steals the show
A 1,500–2,000 pound Steller sea lion nicknamed 'Chonkers' has drawn crowds to San Francisco's Pier 39, lounging among smaller California sea lions. Officials say he likely swam from waters off Washington or Oregon and has become an overnight attraction at the popular waterfront, with visitors snapping photos as he remains noticeably larger than the others.
