They tell you never to work with children or animals, and Shakira found out why recently - and she wasn't even working.
The singer immediately alerted fans to the situation, tweeting:
"Omg what just happened to me! I was attacked by a sea lion!"
Realising that 140 characters couldn't really convey the trauma that occured, Shakira took to Facebook to write a "special report" about the whole thing.
After you've read this, you'll be grateful for her superhero brother 'Super Tony', and learn that giving sea lions a bit of space is probably a good idea:
"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 paralysed 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."
Don't worry, though, she's found some animals that she gets on a little bit better with. After her upsetting sea lion experience, she wrote:
"Today with the penguins! Definitely friendlier!!"
Phew, that's a relief.
