I love pinnipeds. I have ever since I met resident seals Layla and Lily at the Maritime Center (they might have been sea lions, whatever I was 5). Anyway, this video is especially adorable seeing as it hits all my personal Greatest Video Ever benchmarks which consists of:
Sea Lions
Little kids falling
Yeah, that's pretty much it. Obviously we don't know if the sea lion is actually concerned for the kid, or just wants to know where that tiny running naked monkey it was chasing after went. Still, that reaction is pretty cute. Honestly, I'd like to think that people were aww-ing at the animal more than they were worried about the kid, but she didn't seem too frazzled anyway.
