Sea lion storms the field during football game in Dunedin
“Then they tried scaring it off and while they were scaring it off they moved it onto our field and so then it parked up on our field as well and stopped our game for about five minutes.” One of the spectators grabbed a branch about two-metres long and shook the leaves at the sea lion. The spectator kept the sea lion away for up to 45 minutes as the game continued, before eventually moving back to the sand dunes. Scott said most spectators were “pretty amazed,” but also wary due to the number of dog walkers passing by. Hamish McNeilly/Stuff
