Snoop Dogg may be one of the world's most famous entertainers, but SeaWorld San Diego's Clyde the Sea Lion wanted the rapper to know that he too can "Bring the Bling." Snoop Dogg, who was recently in San Diego for a concert, spent a few hours at the marine-life park interacting with several of the SeaWorld's animals and shared some center-stage time with Clyde at Sea Lion and Otter Stadium. Clyde said he'd be happy to collaborate with Snoop Dogg on one of his future hip-hop songs! Photo: Bob Couey - SeaWorld San Diego Contact: Bob Couey Visual Services Manager SeaWorld San Diego
