Antoine's Solo Seal Rescue

Antoine is patrolling Pelican point by him self. He has spotted an entangled seal with some fishing line sticking out of his back. The seals are very alert and Tony decides to crawl closer to not spook them into the water. The entanglement has not caused much damage yet. Tony carefully removes the fishing line, the young baby seal is relieved and freed to heal in the salt water. 🦭

Antoine not that he just sounds very gentle and caring person, he actually is even beyond and above that description. When he speaks to seal very strong note of love for small creature is present in his voice. Antoine is really great man. Regards from Berlin and best wishes as well as stay safe.

Going solo, with all the talking to the seal, and the response from the seal, made a perfect video. I was very spellbound to the video till the release, where the seal pulled out the uno reverse card and came back to say "Do not try that again or so - - - Ooh what is this thing?" lol
