They can certainly look scary.
I have to admit, I wouldn't be all that surprised to hear of one biting, though I haven't yet.
I would be far more surprised to hear that one had rammed though. That's just not part of their nature.
I have seriously shoved large males out of the way at night when they were competing with me in a hole. They go for the blacksmiths that get blinded by my light. They are squishy. They never did take offence though.
Has anyone heard of a sea lion actually biting a diver?
Enjoy the diving, seahunt
