## Resource

Sea lions are crashing into cars in Dunedin, New Zealand — and scientists warn it’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. These massive, growing populations of endangered pakake are increasingly venturing into urban zones, ignoring traffic like it’s nothing. Two pups were already killed last month, and with visibility issues and fearless behavior, the danger is real. A speed limit drop to 80 kph on Taieri Mouth Road is being considered — a sign the council is taking this seriously. Conservation wins, but safety risks are rising as these majestic creatures reclaim their coastal home. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
