Elderly sea lion dies at zoo

A California sea lion at the National Zoo died Wednesday after showing signs of fatigue and a loss of appetite, zoo officials said.

The 30-year-old sea lion, known as Maureen, was born in the wild in 1977. She was rescued after becoming tangled in a fishing net and arrived at the National Zoo from California in 1978. The zoo said sea lions typically live fewer than 25 years. The exact cause of Maureen's death won't be known for several weeks.
