Do not mess with sea dogs.

An angry seal trying to enjoy its meal in peace charged a fisherman that came a little too close.

In the clip, a group of beachgoers in Merimbula, Australia can be seen watching a seal doing a little bit of fishing in the shallow waters next to shore. After a few moments the seal finally catches its lunch.

At that moment, the seal walks toward the shoreline and notices that a fisherman is a little too close to its meal, so it charges the stunned man who falls trying to escape. Thankfully, the seal retreats to the water as a land dog comes to the man's rescue.

Although the clip was first released in March, it's just starting to gain some traction online after someone uploaded the clip to YouTube.
