Hilarious video shows giant sea lions relaxing on tiny boat, nearly sinking it

PUGET SOUND, Wash. — Two sea lions were spotted on a boat in Eld Inlet near Olympia, Washington.

Joshua Phillips, a former professional soccer player and Gonzaga University alumnus who is now owner and president of Spawn Fly Fish, posted the video to his Instagram account Tuesday. In the two days that followed, the company wrote that the video had been viewed more than 1 million times.

“It looked a little off, and we got closer and closer and realized there were two massive animals on board,” Phillips told The Olympian.

Another video posted on YouTube that was shot from shore shows a third animal in the water trying to get on the boat and being turned away, The Olympian reported.
