How did a sea lion pup end up on the roof of a four-story Newport Beach apartment building?

That's the question officials and residents are asking after the sea lion was found Thursday morning.

Animal rescue workers have dubbed the sea lion Fiddler in honor of the musical, “Fiddler on the Roof.”

The pup apparently climbed up four flights of external stairs at an apartment triplex near Seashore Drive and 47th Street before a Newport Beach animal control officer caught him on the roof of the building about 6 a.m.
