Tourists in British Columbia received a bit of a scare when a sea lion grabbed a little girl and dragged her into the water.
The entire incident was caught on video.
At one point, the animal lunges within inches of the little girl's face.
A few seconds later, the seal lunges again, grabbing the girl and yanking her backwards into the water.
A person jumped in and pulled her to safety.
She is expected to be ok.
