Yesterday it was dolphins attacking swimmers. Today, it’s a giant sea lion that literally fell on top of a woman, from above her head, almost squishing her. Are there skydiving sea lions, you ask? No. Here’s what happened.
It was at a show at Marine Land in Spain where the sea lion was inside a giant above ground tank. He wanted out and jumped up over the edge, a good 8 feet up. He looked kind of stuck there, half over the edge, half still in the tank. His trainer ran over, on the outside of the tank, thinking she would be able to give him a push back into the water. Nope. One big flail of his tail sent him over, knocking her down and him landing right on top of her………… all 750 pounds of sea lion. Luckily, the trainer slipped out right away and escaped without any known injuries.
The amazing thing is that instead of checking herself for an injury, she immediately turned to the sea lion and checked to see if he was okay.
