Chippy

A name given to a disoriented sea lion that swam up the California Aquesuct almost as far as Los Banos.

Chippy was named after CHiPs by the CHiPs who were wondering what the heck to do with a sea lion in the desert-like west side of San Joaquin Valley, which is quite fitting since the CHiPs around Los Banos get disoriented too. So watch out for them on I-5, or they'll run you over!
