Sea Lion Attacks

Normally, the wild animal that poses the largest threat to humans are mountain lions. Thankfully, mountain lion attacks are very rare. However, it seems that another “lion” poses a danger to humans: Sea lions. There have been several incidents of not so friendly interactions between sea lions and humans, but just very recently, there are a number of “demonic” sea lions on the California coast that have made headlines. In particular, there was an attack on a surfer. The aggressive and erratic behavior of the animals have been linked to a toxic algae bloom, which has left a dolphin and 8 sea lions dead at San Diego’s SeaWorld.
