Holy mother of god, shit, you are BIG!!! Please ignore me, I'm just floating here. I am not a toy. No, no, no, I am not a toy.

The nastiest marine mammals I've encountered have been sea lions. One once snuck up and bumped me in Jaws 3D sequel movie times. I was wearing a mask and a snorkel and nothing else, if you want the complete picture. I might have pissed my pants but I wasn't wearing any.

Another time my know-it-all newly adolescent kid and I were in a kayak when an adolescent sea lion decided to mess with us and my kid decided to give it back with his paddle. They're both lucky I didn't go raging green hulk dad on both of them.
