Or a sea lion rather. They're effectively the same thing... probably (I don't really "do" animals).

Saw that. People just crack me up.

Gotta admit, I wouldn't have thought it would come up after the kid. Also wouldn't have been near there either. They do have teeth and if folks had been teasing it with food they might just get pissed. Doesn't seem like the kid was hurt thankfully.
Lots of people have no understanding of where they are in the food chain and how that varies based on their surroundings. Many other are just plain stupid.

Yes, let's mess with 600 lb territorial male wild animal in its native habitat. Whether based in aggression, food driven or simply playful, all acts by this creature could have life changing or even lethal consequences.
Reminds me of the recent episode of the girl 'play boxing' with the kangaroo. Funny until the kangaroo decided to reciprocate.
Hell I've seen a squirrel kick the crap out of a child who, after sharing saltine crackers, decided that the last cracker should be eaten by the child. The squirrel got the last word in on that poor decision.
Darwin at work here folks, the only thing to see is that which is entirely predictable.

Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?
Looked pretty scary to me. Now she's going to have an irrational fear of them growing up
I grew up on an island around seals and sea lions. They are not to be trifled with. If you find one on the dock, take another route, or wait. They're mean bastards.
Islanders operate on, "island time," because Mother Nature (either wildlife, weather, or downed trees) have a way of mucking up your well made plans.

Good on that guy for getting in quick.
I live on an island, and I hardly go in the water. We had about ten shark attacks in 2016. On land, I'm pretty high up on the food chain. In the water, I'm probably lower than a sardine.
