Shakira gets attacked by seal
31-year-old Columbian singer, Shakira, was “attacked” by a local Cape Fur Seal over this past weekend.
The “hips don’t lie” star is on holiday in South Africa and was taking in the beautiful coastline that Cape Town has to offer when a Cape Fur Seal leapt out of the water only to land a few feet away from Shakira.
 
Here is her special report she uploaded to her facebook page:
This afternoon I happened to see some sea lions and seals. I thought to myself how cute they were so I decided to get a bit closer than all of the other tourists and went down to a rock trying to pet them doing a baby talk while taking pictures... Suddenly, one of them jumped out of the water so fast and impetuously that it got about one foot away from me, looked me in the eye, roared in fury and tried to bite me. Everyone there screamed, including me. I was paralyzed by fear and couldn't move, I just kept eye contact with it while my brother "Super Tony" jumped over me and literally saved my life, taking me away from the beast. We both got our hands and legs scratched by the rocks while trying to protect ourselves. I believe what happened is that it confused the shiny reflection of the blackberry I was taking these pics with, with some sort of fish. It probably thought I was teasing it with food and then taking it away from it. Wow! It's funny that only half an hour before I was complaining to my guide Andrew that I never get to see wild animals up close on adventurous trips. Oh well, I can't say that anymore!! Now I'm off to see some penguins! I hope they are a bit more friendly!

A little bit overdramatic we would say. Particularly the part of “Super Tony” literally saving her life by taking her away from “the beast”.
