A viral video showing two sea lions chasing away beachgoers at San Diego’s La Jolla Cove on Friday has people on the internet questioning how we coexist with marine life.
That may be what happened on Sunday, at least according to Yeyna, who shot the now-viral video.
"I started recording because it was really funny to watch for me to see all these tourists getting blown away by these giant sea lions," described Charlianne Yeyna. "The sea lions were sleeping and were just massive on the beach and I was just watching them and this woman got really close to them, like 4 feet away, and was trying to take a photo of it up close, and it just woke up and started chasing everybody," Yeyna said.
Yeyna said she was concerned for the tourists' safety. She saw many signs posted warning visitors to give seals and sea lions their space. "I'm glad that it went viral to raise awareness of how dangerous that they can be. Like, they are still wild animals and you need to give them their space. They're also protected. So I think that this shows that they are not to be messed with," Yeyna added.
