Seals and sea lions are unpredictable and can become aggressive quickly. They have sharp teeth and may bite, particularly if cornered or harassed.

If you encounter one, do what Wiz did: take a picture with a zoom lens and stay clear.

Just another indication of the deterioration of the delta by the increase in salinity. Thats why they call them " Sea Lions ". Water quality is fading fast.
