A 9-year-old girl named Corale Olsen was bitten by a sea lion while surfing at a camp in Monterey County. The incident occurred when a sea lion swam under her instructor's leg and then bit her leg. Olsen described her immediate fear and pain following the attack. The context includes recent warnings about sick marine animals due to a toxic algae bloom that has made sea lions aggressive. Previous incidents involving sea lion attacks have also been reported in Southern California.
Corale Olsen shared her experience of being bitten by a sea lion while surfing, stating, "It was right next to me, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, something really bad is going to happen.' Then it just bit me. It was pain, and then I was screaming."
In a previous incident, Rj LaMendola detailed his experience of being bitten by a sea lion, saying, "Its jaws clamped down hard on my left butt cheek, piercing through my 5/4mm wetsuit like it was nothing. The pain was sharp and immediate, but the terror was worse."
