Oct 02 (NHK) - A baby sea lion that was missing since last week has been found safe at a zoo in Osaka City, western Japan.
The three-month-old female California sea lion went missing at Tennoji Zoo last Thursday.
Zoo officials suspected that the pup went out of the sea lions' pool through a drain whose cover was open.
On Tuesday morning, the officials searched for the pup near the area as barking was heard there the previous day. They found her in a drainage pipe near the pool.
The officials say she appears well, but that they will have her health checked.
A staff member who found the pup said he was excited and relieved to see her alive.
