Everyone knows why we have zoos and aquariums–to make sure we know what the enemy looks like. But like prisons for inmates, every now and then they have an escapee.
Most recently, a sea lion, often reffered to as the tiger of the sea, was so smart it broke out of its habitat at the Pittsburgh Zoo–and into a shark tank. Seahawk the sea lion is a crafty creature, which is dangerous. One would hope that the sharks would gobble up this threat as soon as he hit the water, since they so seldomly get to eat sea lion in their cells. But no, the tiger sharks, often called the zebras of the sea because of their stripes, were scared by the sea lion, and instinctively formed a defensive circle around their young.
Seahawk was promptly caught by authorities and clubbed.
