A sea lion who didn't take kindly to being weighed has attacked an animal trainer at Sea World on the Gold Coast.
The 28-year-old suffered a minor cut to his arm, Sea World said in a statement.
The theme park said the man was trying to carry out a routine weight check on the animal when the incident happened.
"An ambulance was called to attend to the trainer. Following the incident, both the sea lion and trainer are in a good condition," Sea World said.
The sea lions are coming into their breeding season which can lead to them being in an excited state, the park said.
