Memphis welcomes sea lion displaced by Katrina

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Another evacuee from the Gulf Coast has arrived in Memphis, and he's quite picky about his seafood.

Andre, a 250-pound sea lion from Gulfport, Miss., has found a temporary home at the Memphis Zoo.

Hurricane Katrina washed him from his pen at the Marine Life Oceanarium. He wandered for 11 days, finding food and water where he could.

Then, last Saturday, he was discovered behind a casino and shipped to Memphis in a special crate. He arrived later that day and was on display for the first time Tuesday.

Although Andre lost about 100 pounds, mammal curator Matt Thompson said he's in good shape. He's receiving antibiotics tucked into his herring snacks.

He's expected to be here a few weeks, until he can return to Gulfport or visit a new zoo.

For now, Memphians can see him frolicking in a spare pool near the hippos.

He'll be the one with a mouthful of fresh herring.

Bite me.

Myhome dont listen to her!!!! She is Old (just look at her status) and she doesnt know what she is talking about

For real, I would love to have my own zoo, but I would be sooo sad if any of my pets ever got sick and died

I have always said that I will one day own a giraffe and a zebra! They are two of the most beautiful animals I have ever seen.
