Video: Giant Sea Lion Nearly Crushes Aquarium Worker In Spain

A shocking video that is going viral from Spain shows an aquarium employee being crushed by a giant sea lion. The video was shot by Florida-based influencer Micah Diaz, 20, who was visiting Marineland, an aquarium in Mallorca, Spain.

The video shows a sea lion escaping its enclosure and dropping onto an employee with its full weight. The clip shows the 750-pound sea lion wiggling its way out of the water pool. A female employee tried to gently push the animal back in the water but it was too late, as the sea lion had already made it over the enclosed pool. And seconds later, the giant animal dropped on top of her and they both hit the ground.
