A sea lion suddenly bites the skirt of a girl sitting at the edge of Canada harbor and drags her into the water, causing everyone to witness panic.

The attack occurred at Steveston Fisherman's Wharf, Richmond BC , Canada, RT yesterday reported. The footage recorded by a witness begins with a picture of happy guests watching the sea lion swim around and laughing when the animal plays. Sometimes the lion bounced towards the little girl sitting at the edge of the harbor but no one was wary of its action.

At the end of the video, the animal rose high, biting the little girl's white skirt and pulling it down into the water, causing her to fall back. While the girl's relatives uttered in horror, a brave man rushed into the water and grabbed her, taking him to shore safely after just a few seconds.

Thanks to the help of relatives and passersby, girls and men are pulled up. Many people breathed a sigh of relief after the girl left. No one was injured in the accident.

The sea lion bit his skirt, pulled the little girl into the water.

"I was sitting next to the port and then the sea lion raised my head out of the water right in front. I could barely pull my phone and start filming. At first it was just a peaceful sight when the sea lion swam along the circle, performing in front of the guests, but then the scene became really dramatic.

Sea lions are often thought to be timid, but there are reports of aggressive attacks on humans. Males became fierce when they gained the right to mate with females. Usually, they are considered highly social, very intelligent, so they can learn many entertaining things.

Frankie Hobro, aquarium director Anglesey Sea Zoo in northern Wales, said sea lions are very strong animals with strong teeth. The sea lion that caused the accident could treat people as a threat and react to self-defense or maybe it just frolicked, there is no way to ascertain it.

"Their teeth are similar to those of dogs or bears. You have to be very careful. People think they can get close to them but if bitten, you may be in danger by bacteria on the teeth. You should not assume that you can interact with them because they can be very aggressive , " Hobro recommends.

"They can come close to people and be friendly but it is difficult to distinguish between playful and offensive behavior. Marine animals should be treated like wild animals instead of pets , " Hobro said.
