SeaWorld Takes in More Animals From Oil Spill

Two more animals — a sea lion and an elephant seal — arrived at SeaWorld’s Oiled Wildlife Care Center late Friday, May 22, the organization said in an email to media. SeaWorld also said that a sea lion taken in earlier this week from the spill died. The animal was in critical condition when it arrived, officials said, and did not survive.
