Sea Lion Attack!

Last year, a group of sea lions took over a Newport Beach marina and caused a vintage 50-foot yacht to capsize when they boarded it.
There's more....

UPDATE:

Parrot and emu attacks in Germany!

I like this quote from the story:

[W]ildlife experts say even healthy sea lions are best left alone.

See, there's how an expert can really enrich a news story.

[BTW I have duly noted, helmut: That's an AP story, AP is print journalism, and they're using "expert." But my stance remains tenable! Strictly, AP is just a wire service--a notoriously inferior subcategory of reportage. A wire service owns no presses! It inks no paper! If you search Google News for "expert" I doubt you'll see a single story from the NY Times, The Washington Post, Boston Herald or any other bona fide inker of paper. So there!]

Wow, that is enriching! I guess I'll give up on my plans to train sea lions to catch frisbees.
