Huge sea lion almost crushed the worker of the aquarium (6 photos + 1 video)
At Marineworld Mallorca in Mallorca, Spain, a dangerous incident occurred - a 340-kilogram sea lion jumped out of water and crashed on an employee of this entertainment establishment. In that moment on her shoulders was the whole weight of the world! Fortunately the woman escaped with a fright.
The unusual incident was caught on video.
The sea lion jumped right at the woman who ran up to the side of the enclosure
She tried to push the animal back into the water, but the forces were unequal
Still, such a carcass!
Surprisingly, both participants in the incident were not injured.
"Well, are you okay?"
The animal was taken to be examined for injuries. The woman was also examined by doctors.
Sea lions are not usually aggressive towards humans, but may display defensive behavior if they feel threatened or cornered.
The practice of keeping animals in marine amusement parks It's been criticized for years now. Animal rights activists keep talking about that marine animals are best observed in their natural coastal and ocean habitat, not kept in captivity for entertainment people, stressing. But things are still there.
