A TikTok video showing dozens of San Diego beachgoers fleeing and jumping out of the way of two fast-moving sealions has generated nearly 10 million views, as well as sparking conversations about whether the mammals were attempting to reclaim the picturesque La Jolla Cove’s narrow strip of sand.
The video, shared by Charlianne Yayna, appears to show two blubbery sea lions charging toward a frightened crowd of beachgoers, which quickly parted as they made their way for the ocean and jumped in.
