Sometimes we, as humans, forget that we are animals. Members of an Animal Kingdom where instincts and primal urges drive most of our daily actions and activities. It’s an important thing to keep in mind considering we very rarely get off that gerbil wheel that is the work-life cycle. So please don’t judge this sea lion too harshly for doing what many of us would have naturally done if given the chance to stand so close to Shakira.

According to Gawker and The Sun, international pop star Shakira, who is also noted for being supremely talented at looking good-looking, was almost mauled by a sea lion while chilling on the beach with her bro. Per Shakira’s facebook, things went down like this:
“This afternoon I happened to see some sea lions and seals. I thought how cute they were so decided to get closer than all of the other tourists and went down to a rock. Suddenly, one jumped out of the water so fast that it got about one foot away from me, looked me in the eye, roared in fury and tried to bite me.” (Shakira)
Had Shakira known better, she would’ve known that that was just the sea lion’s way of asking her if she wanted to go someplace quieter. I mean, when I’m out eye contact, roaring, and biting are just some of the moves I use to seduce my next prey victim date.

Not gonna lie, sea lions are cute as shit.
Shakira, it’s alright. That sea lion was just horny. Your natural beauty transcends interspecies boundaries. We are, after all, just animals.
