    A sea lion got behind the wheel of a boat and took sheriff's officials in California on a wild ride.

    Officials were notified that the animal was hanging around a dock in Newport Beach. After several failed attempts to get the sea lion in the water, officials took the animal aboard their fire boat but the animal commandeered it.

    The lion took control, honked the horn, and even put the boat in reverse.

    It took more than an hour and a few squirts from a garden hose to get the animal to go back to sea.
