Seals and sea lions are unpredictable and can become aggressive quickly. They have sharp teeth and may bite, particularly if cornered or harassed. Sea lions are usually playful, however they can be territorial and dangerous especially during the mating seasons. Accidents among divers are reported much more frequently than with sharks. Advice: get out of water if sea lions show territorial behavior (barking), don’t swim with large males, don’t approach sea lions during the mating season. yes

In 1997 the U.S. population of the Steller sea lion west of 144ºW (Cape Suckling, Alaska) was reclassified as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act, the remainder of the population remaining classified as Threatened, a status it has held since 1990. The species is also listed as Depleted under the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act, protected from intentional killing in Canada by the Fisheries Act, and listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The sea lion is not on the list.

I disagree. Otters can be very dangerous and aggressive. They are not timid and will attack humans. Just today someone was attacked by an otter that appeared to be swimming away and then turned around and rushed up on the shore and bit a mans ankle causing serious injury. A Florida Otter can rip your face off.
