Subject: Fake orca used to scare sea lions out of Oregon port
Written By: Philip Eno on 06/05/15 at 3:28 pm
Port officials in an Oregon city have gone to creative lengths to see off hundreds of sea lions from their docks - by shipping in a fake orca whale.
The 32ft-long fibreglass whale was brought to rid Astoria's port of the sea lions after they failed to leave as expected once the weather got warmer.
Officials say the sea lions are putting thousands of jobs in the city at risk.
First attempts to use the fake orca ran into trouble on Thursday, after its motor became flooded.
Officials say they may try again on Friday.
