1. This is bad

That dude is training his own replacement. Soon the sea lion will learn how to clean up without him and that lazy bastard MBA who's running the zoo will fire the human and make the sea lion work for free.

5. don't let Newtski hear about this.

He'll send kids to work as janitors, and replace their Moms with sea lions.

Wonder what the male sea lions do? Mow the grass in the giraffe enclosure?

11. I prefer this guy. Not such a suck up. Though it appears he may have recently snorted coke.

Could we keep Charlie Sheen away from the zoo and these impressionable animals?

12. He'll be a super suck-up in due time

He's an elephant seal and will develop a fine schnozzola by the time he matures

10. She looks like an aqua-dog.

If Narwhals had pets, they'd have sea lions.
