A Sea Lion Joins Divers In A Shark Cage — And Has To Be Helped Out

Shark cages are meant to keep you in and wildlife out. But it seems as if one sea lion didn’t quite get that message.

All it took was a little nudge from a diver to help the wayward pinniped find its way out of the cage and back into the sea.

Despite the video’s title, the critter in question is definitely not a seal. While the two kinds of animals are similar, the visible ear flaps confirm that it’s one of the six living species of sea lions (a seventh, the Japanese sea lion, is extinct).
