I would very much like to see the 2,000 lb stellar sea lion at San Francisco Pier 39, who I believe has now been named "Chonkers" Does anyone know if he keeps a regular schedule?

I've been to pier 39 twice since he showed up. Both times in the middle of the day. Both times he was flompped on a platform just living his best life.

My daughter and I were there for his debut — but we had no idea! He was just another really big boy back then. Before his rise to fame.
