Samantha Sanford, marine mammal supervisor for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, bottle feeds Ella, a 47-day-old California sea lion pup, at the park's Sea Lion Stadium on Friday, Aug. 1, 2008, in Vallejo, Calif. Ella was abandoned by her mother on a beach in Santa Barbara, and will never be able to survive on her own because she is imprinted on humans and is being hand-reared by humans.
