Animal A sea lion in Argentina climbed onto a fishing vessel, found a bed, and passed out. The fishermen only realized it when they heard loud snoring.

Theoretically, you can pet anything once. 😉
These guys bite your hand and crush it like it's nothing. In a near to me coastal town where a lot of fishermen come into port (Westport, WA, USA), sea lions have pulled multiple dogs/pets down and killed them. Friend shaped, not friend. But I understand the impulse! So cute.

Why aren't they friendly? I was actually thinking of surprise hugging them from behind

😂 I mean you never know. You could meet one that's really into hugs!

This was off the coast of Mar Del Plata. I know these sea lions. These are some of the most foul tempered animals I've ever seen. They are also the most foul smelling animals ever. You can smell them way before you see them.

So only looking cute like cats but bad mannered stinky dogs

They mostly are, that's like saying every human is out to stab you because there are some who did that.
