- Chonkers, the massive celebrity sea lion, has some competition, and the lookalike was ready for his close-up in San Francisco this week.
- A huge Steller sea lion hauled itself onto a platform at the city’s famous Pier 39 Thursday to the delight of onlookers.
- Officials were quick to point out that it wasn’t “Chonkers”, the beloved 2,000-pound “seal-ebrity” who graced the Bay Area earlier this year, despite the striking resemblance.
