Stunned family loses prime beachside lunch spot to 'nosy' sea lion
A sun smart sea lion may have stolen a Dunedin family's picnic spot, but stopped short of stealing their lunch.
Nikita and Kenny Hau and their two young boys were about to eat at at Aramona, near Dunedin, on Monday when something emerged from the water.
"[The sea lion] wasn't being aggressive in anyway ... it was like he was being playful," Nikita Hau says.
