It's summertime in the northern hemisphere and many people are turning to beaches for some fun in the sun.

One bonus of the beach is a chance to see wildlife in their natural habitat.

Beachgoers can watch dolphins frolicking in the surf, see seabirds soar overhead or run for their lives from libidinous 800 pound sea lions.

Yeah, that last one...

These sea lions made my day yesterday #california

Seems it's mating season for California sea lions and some males—which can weigh from 600 to 850 pounds and reach 8 feet in length—didn't take kindly to humans visiting their favorite hook-up spot while they were courting the ladies.

Mayhem ensued as a result.

The incident occurred Friday at La Jolla Cove in San Diego, California. TikToker Charlianne Yeyna—@favortown on the social media platform—recorded the scene from above to share online. It seems SoCal locals—both human and sea lion—get a bit testy about interlopers in the cove.

Yeyna captioned the clip:

"These sea lions made my day yesterday."

In a later interview with NBC San Diego, Yeyna said:

"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."

Yeyna stated it began when a woman got within four feet of one of the sleeping behemoths to take a picture. The cove has numerous signs warning visitors not to approach the sea lions which are frequently seen lounging on the beach.

People were equal parts amused—by the sea lions—and annoyed—at the humans—on TikTok.

Twitter weighed in as well.

People were definitely #TeamSeaLion there too.




Sea lion expert Eric Otjen told the Associated Press:

"This behavior is not uncommon at all."
"The reason why the video has gotten like 10 million views is because everybody is running like Godzilla is chasing them."

According to Otjen, mating season is from May to October. Both males and the much smaller females can be aggressive during mating season or when they have pups.

People are advised to stay at least 50 feet away from the marine mammals.

No injuries were reported in Friday’s San Diego sea lion take back the cove event.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

John Oliver Epically Drags Jesse Watters For Sharing Unverified Video Of Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandals On Fox News

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
