Overview

Immediately after the baby sea lion is born, his mother must leave him to dive deep in the ocean to eat enough fish to provide enough milk for her baby. The baby sea lion is left in the care of other seals to play with his cousins in the nursery pool, but a big wave washes him out to sea. It is an adventure not without its dangers, and the sea lion must find his way home. A kind sea turtle helps him find the beach where he was born, and the baby sea lion is at first rebuffed by several mother sea lions before being reunited with his mother and settling down for a feed and a well-earnt sleep between his mother's flippers.
