“Give me back my fish” - seal/sea lion chases fish
Alycia Giglio

Published on Sep 27, 2017

My friends and I went to Browns Beach in South Australia to camp, and whilst we were fishing for salmon the sea lion decided to join us. He was swimming and jumping through the water chasing the fish, and he chased the fish up onto the beach 3 times. This video is the third time. It was awesome.

And all those asking why we didn’t give it a fish, we tried but it wouldn’t take one from us, it just backed away back from us and into the ocean. Guess it wanted the thrill of the chase.

They say that they tried to give the fish to the sea lion, but he wouldn't take it.

I just added the Youtube poster's description to my OP.

will only encourage it to approach humans in the future and that rarely turns out well for the animal... this one seems to be smart enough to get the hell away from our species. Probably best for it in the log run, we're proven to be bad for wildlife.
