Sea Lions Face Language Barrier

Sea lions from the Sun Asia Ocean World in Dalian, Liaoning Province, one of the biggest aquariums in China, are facing a language barrier they only understand instructions in English.

An expert from the aquarium explained that these 11 sea lions all come from foreign countries. As an international practice, their original trainers use English to train them, which is convenient for the exchanges among the world's trainers.

But sometimes there are some unexpected problems.

A new sea lion could not understand the Dalian trainer's instructions because its original trainer was a Mexican, and it could only understand English with a Mexican accent.
