Sea lions might look sweet, but they have a powerful bite and can lash out if threatened, so it's important to always give them plenty of space – unlike a group of beachgoers who were spotted in La Jolla, California recently. In a video shared online recently, the vacationers decided to stop beside a huge colony of sea lions basking on a beach, taking in turns posing for photos with the animals. The sea lions tolerate this behavior for a while, but after a woman almost sits on one creature's nose they become distressed, barking and sending her running.
The clip, which you can watch below, was shared last week via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks, which calls out bad behavior at sites of natural beauty around the world.
