Surfer bitten by sea lion

A sea lion that had been charging at beachgoers on Manhattan Beach, California, bit a surfer taking a breather, then waddled into the water and swam away.

Josh Duncan came within five feet of the sea lion yesterday when it bit him, requiring the 27-year-old surfer to get stitches and a tetanus shot for the inch-long wound on his thigh, lifeguard Capt. Mike Cunningham said.
