Giant Steller Sea Lion Chonkers Visits SF Pier

0:00It's April 29th. From your city to your ears, this is Durham News today, powered by AI. A massive stellar sea lion named Chancers has been chilling at San Francisco's Pier 39, pulling in crowds with his huge frame. Unlike the usual California sea lions there, this guy is a beast up to 11 feet long and tipping the scales at 2500 pounds. These stellar sea lions pack on that blubber for diving deep and cold waters, way different from the Bay's milder setup. They're built for tougher conditions, which makes Chancers visit here pretty rare. Folks are flocking to the pier just to catch a glimpse, snapping pics and buzzing online about this gentle giant who's twice the size of the locals. But stays mellow around them. Experts say he's not picking fights or barking much. His size does the talking. Normally, these swimmers roam the Pacific from Japan to Alaska, covering serious distances. He was last spotted Tuesday around 9 a.m., and keeps popping up. So check the live Pier 39 cam stream if you want to see if Chancers is.
