Mum Uses Son As Human Shield To Avoid Being Splashed By Water At Sea Lion Show

Caught on TikTok: Watch this mum use her son as a human shield as a sea lion splashes water onto the audience

January 23, 2022

A day out at the zoo is never complete without catching an animal show.

While the creatures tend to take centre stage, this performance had a different main character. 

At a recent Splash Safari Show, a woman sitting in the first row wanted to keep dry so she held her son in front of her and used him as a ‘shield’ when sea lions splashed water on them.

Her efforts were in vain as both mother and child were drenched.

The incident was recorded by a fellow audience member who posted the video on TikTok last Sunday (16 Jan)

While the sea lion’s trick was meant to entertain the audience, many were more intrigued by the pair’s reaction.

It appeared that they weren’t aware that the audience would get a big, wet goodbye wave from a sea lion in the show.

Some likened the boy to a “pricey umbrella” while others pointed out how the pair was grabbing everyone’s attention.

In July 2019, a Singapore Zoo visitor also got up-close and personal with wildlife.

She was on a stage holding a snake when a python greeted her from behind. Upon seeing the large reptile, the woman fell to the ground before she got up and ran off.
