A sea lion was rescued off the coast of Vancouver Island after getting so entangled in netting that rescuers say it’s possible he hadn’t eaten in weeks or months .
The adult male sea lion had a gillnet wrapped around its muzzle, neck, and inside its mouth, preventing him from eating.
After 48 hours of planning and co-ordination, the rescue team sedated the sea lion with a dart.
It entered the water and was tracked by a drone until it could be safely approached by the federal fisheries department .
