The video shared on TikTok by user Charlianne Yeyna appears to show two blubbery sea lions charging toward a frightened crowd of beachgoers, which quickly parted as the sea lions made their way for the ocean and jumped in.
Yeyna tells Fox 5 in San Diego that she decided to pick up her phone and start recording after noticing a woman attempting to take a picture of one of the sleeping sea lions.
The sea lion woke up mid-picture and began to chase the woman in the direction of the large crowd on the beach.
People can be seen running from the two sea lions as the animals quickly waddle across the sand toward the crowd.
Yeyna said that despite their aggressive approach, the animals went back into the water and no one appeared to be hurt.
