California Sea Lions Charge Toward Startled Beachgoers, Emptying Busy Cove
Beachgoers at a cove in California made a run for it after two sea lions seemingly charged at people on the shore.
Please give that large, male sea lion plenty of room,” a lifeguard can be heard saying over a loudspeaker. “They have bitten people, and they are protected animals.”
After the lifeguard made the announcement, some cautious beachgoers began to pack up and trudge up the rocky coastline.
Others – trying to get close-up pictures of the sea lion – bided their time until the approximately 600 lb. aquatic mammal charged out of the water, towards people.
Another aggressive sea lion is seen launching out of the water, with surprising agility, and barking loudly – causing beach goers to shriek and quickly leave the cove.
