In the canadian city of Richmond sea lion grabbed the girl by the dress and dragged her into the water. Record the incident in the Harbor of Steveston Fisherman’s Wharf, available on YouTube. Video published 20 may, scored over 400 thousand views.
As noted in the caption to the video, the child is saved relatives, and the witnesses, he was not injured.
The author of the video said that he often sees sea lions in this place, but never witnessed anything like it. He also noted that just before the attack, the animal is fed the crowd on the pier people.
According to Andrew Traits (Andrew Trites), Director of the center for the study of marine mammals at the University of British Columbia, his first thought after watching the video was this: “How stupid are some people who do not treat wildlife with respect.” “It was a California sea lion male, they are huge animals, they are not performers and are not trained to be around people”, he added.
Traits believes that when the girl turned around and sat down near the water, in sight of the animal was a fragment of her dress, the sea lion mistook him for food, and so grabbed. The expert hopes that this video will teach people not to feed wild animals.
