In a sad follow up to the story posted this morning, Hope, the bearded seal who swam all the way from the Arctic to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, died at Sea World this afternoon. Scientists do not yet know his exact cause of death, but he was significantly dehydrated, malnourished and exhausted when he was captured.
Yet another sea animal confused by warming seas?

See, I'm not used to spring in Berkeley, so I don't know how unusual it is that it's felt like ninety degrees a few days this past week. Supposed to go to 78 today, I just checked.
Stop bragging. We hit a record 90+ here in the Southland for May.
Found a good overview and will post...
