"A group of sea lions have been trained by the U.S. Navy to play video games.

However, they won't be making the transition to esports any time soon—the games more closely resemble Snake than Call of Duty, and were designed as part of a cognitive enrichment exercise for the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program.

The U.S. Navy employs over 120 sea lions and dolphins as part of its Marine Mammal Program, which was set up in 1959 to act as a squad of aquatic sniffer "dogs." The animals are trained in detecting explosives and other such hazards underwater, as well as recovering missing Navy equipment from the ocean floor."
