Sea lion opens gate to crash fisherman's interview about a 'plague of sea lions'

Residents of Tome, a town in the Bio Bio region of Chile, have been experiencing what one fisherman called a "plague of sea lions".

The sea lions are thought to have been fleeing predators such as orcas, although gale force winds in the area could also be a factor. One sea lion was caught on camera, opening a gate to crash an interview.
