 (AP) - In this photo taken Monday, Aug. 30, 2010 and provided by the Chicago Zoological Society, two female orphaned California sea lion pups are seen at at Brookfield Zoo, in Brookfield, Ill, where they are getting acclimated to their new surroundings. The two unnamed pups, born on June 7 and June 10, were abandoned by their moms at a popular tourist attraction-Pier 39 in San Francisco-which is a highly unusual place for a California sea lion to give birth. Deemed unreleasable back in the wild because of the difficulty of rehabilitating young pups, the Chicago Zoological Society stepped forward and offered to give the sea lions a permanent home at Brookfield Zoo.
