Sea lions might look sweet, but they have a powerful bite and can be dangerous if agitated. They are also protected under federal law, so it's important to always give them plenty of space – unlike a group of beachgoers spotted in La Jolla, California recently.
In a video shared online this week, 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.
