Rescued sea lion gets taste of the good life

This lounging mammal might look lazy, but she's earned a vacation. The sea lion, named Panchita, was gravely injured when she was caught in a net. Thankfully, she escaped and found refuge at this hotel, where animal advocates have spent three months nursing her back to health. She now swims in the sea every day before returning home to the hotel. She'll need to be well-rested for her next endeavor: Her handlers expect her to give birth within the next few weeks.
