Flapper flips
An angry sea lion is attacking US swimmers at a lagoon.
The ferocious animal has bitten at least 14 people and chased 10 others out of the Aquatic Park Lagoon - which is part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park - in California. The area has now been closed temporarily.
Celeste McMullin, who was bitten this week, said: "I was swimming along, and I felt a brush under my feet. And I thought, ‘they feel like whiskers’. So I stopped, and the animal popped up." The victim says the sea lion then continued to bite her until she returned to shore.
Experts have suggested the mammal might have brain damage from toxic algae or is protecting its harem of mates.
