If a home is left vacant long enough, chances are squatters will move in. And that’s exactly what happened to a two-storey home on California’s Año Nuevo Island, except that the new tenants are birds and sea lions.
Built originally as a home for lighthouse keepers, the house was abandoned 50 years ago – much to the delight of hundreds of sea lions, seagulls and cormorants, among other creatures. The animals officially took over sometime in the late 1950s but had been gunning for the house for decades, according to keepers’ records that date back to the early 1900s.
