Zoology: Saving Punta San Juan: Peru05

A South American sea lion laid sedated with a tranquilizer dart after he was shot by Dr. Adkesson. The dart took about 10 minutes to take effect, so Dr. Adkesson must also carry a second gun containing a reversal dart to shoot the animal should it make it to the water and risk drowning before becoming sedated.
