Hundreds of tourists cheered at Pier 39 on Tuesday as marine mammal rescuers captured a young pinniped that had a plastic packing band cinched around its neck.
A passer-by spotted the immature male sea lion frolicking near the pier with his pals around 1:30 p.m., rescuers said.
A team of experts from the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito rushed to the area, where they tranquilized the sea lion and herded it into a large animal crate.
