If you’re wondering what Shakira’s been up to, it’s vacationing in South Africa and having close calls with sea lions.

The singer reportedly tried to scale some rocks to get closer to the beasts when the harrowing attack occured. “I was attacked by a sea lion! ,” she wrote on her blog. “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.”

The singer was “paralyzed” by fear, until her brother rescued her. Phew! [via Canoe]
