Over a dozen tourists mob sea lion colony for photos in La Jolla, California – the sea lions don't appreciate it

Sea lions at La Jolla beach, California, USA.

Just a few days after a man was spotted trying to pose his child with an angry sea lion at La Jolla, California, a group of over a dozen tourists have been filmed mobbing a whole colony of the animals for photos. In the resulting video (which you can watch below) the sea lions are clearly distressed. Most head towards the sea, while one tried to chase the photographers away.

The latest video was shared this week via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks, which calls out bad behavior at sites of natural beauty around the world, all too often involving wildlife. According to mrs_monty103, who spotted the crowd piling onto the beach, there was no excuse for their behavior: "there are signs warning people to keep their distance."
