This is the hilarious moment a pair of kayakers capsized after getting too close to a barking sea lion.

The funny incident was filmed at Marina del Rey in Los Angeles.

The kayakers - whose identities are unknown - were spotted drifting towards the sunbathing sea lion.

The animal then starts barking loudly - sending them toppling into the water.

Natasha Harrison, from Devizes, Wilts., filmed the video.

She said: "It was very very funny - and perfect timing."

"You could see that it was a bit ominous and something might happen. Then it was like watching in slow motion."

"I think it was louder than they expected. Until you’re quite close you don’t realise how big and noisy the [sea lions] are."

"Just another day in California."

Marina del Rey is known for its sea lion population, according to information online.

Natasha, 34, filmed the video after leaving a boat trip in September 2022.
