Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey saved a baby seal from being prodded and poked by a group of teens who came across the seal pup on a Malibu Beach.
The 44-year-old actor was surfing in Malibu when he spotted those teenagers harassing the baby seal by cruelly poking the sea creature with their feet and a stick, reported Examiner online.
"Back Off - and I'm not going to ask you a second time!," he said.
The teens listened open-mouthed as the Oscar-winner harangued them with a long lecture on respecting wildlife.
"Matthew told the kids the seal wasn't hurt, it was resting and sunning itself - and that young pups do this all the time while the mother seals swim close by until they're ready to re-enter the sea.
"After a 20-minute lecture on sea life, the kids were so anxious to get away that they didn't even bother to ask the star to pose for a photo," a source said.
