Why did the sea lion cross the road?

Chickens aren’t the only creatures crossing the road.

An enormous sea lion parked itself in the middle of a crosswalk in Valdivia, Chile, on Monday.

Business administrator Marcela Solis, 38, was on her way to work when she snapped a picture of the docile sea mammal in what looks like a spoof of the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album cover.

Sea lions aren’t such a rare sight in Chile, but Solis said she’s never seen one stop traffic before.

“We often see sea lions along the waterfront, but it was very odd to see one using a crossing to get from one side to the other,” Solis said.

“It was fun to watch him cross so calmly.”
