[@fannycraddock99]

Oh Oh, it's me they want, catch me if you can - oh you did! Great team work as usual guys. Thanks.

[@EllenSchneider-tn1pu]

That little one gave that comical/sad look when he was about to be grabbed by Naude. “Oh damn, it’s me he wants” Yes little one, your life will be a whole lot better because you were spotted and chosen by the team! 🦭🌊💙

[@mcfishyfirst253]

Thanks guys

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you for your kind words! This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.

The pups are so cute when they turn around and try to intimidate you. So scary!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you for your kind words! While we’re deeply committed to helping the seals, we know our work is just a small part of a much bigger battle.

[@theheartland1861]

once that plastic bag tightens around the poor seal's neck, the problems get much worse. glad to see the seal was saved and heading back to the water, to be with friends👍👍

Great work as always folks!! 👍👍

[@nicklager1666]

How pretty a full group of rescuers ready to jump into action. And some pretty flamingoes as an added bonus. Poor pup couldnt hardly growl at the rescuers.

[@Mcat7101]

Chubby puppy was on his way almost before he noticed he had been caught. Thank you all for rescuing him❤❤❤

[@LiamWakefield]

Good response to the shark question. I was unaware of the general absence of the large predators in that area.

[@Mcat7101]

​@@LiamWakefieldHi😊 Thank you - I was only repeating what OCN have said previously. Apparently the waters are too murky and shallow for sharks to hunt. It's reassuring in view of the state of some of the wounds on the seals.😢 Have a good weekend.

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

Poor pup, plastic pack. Thank you, Naude, Denzil, Tony & Team for saved the puppy 💞🦭.

[@luciebrisson5881]

An item easy to remove by the rescuers but not at all by the seal. That bag would have killed him if not for the team. Thank you OCN !

[@Kuklapolitan]

Looks like a beautiful day at Pelican Point made even more lovely by your rescuing that baby seal sporting the plastic bag he picked up! Thanks Naude!

[@RL-RL]

That was quick and unfortunately easy. With a colony that big, I'm sure OCN will have more to save. Thanks for this one!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thank you for watching!

I no longer use these bags, I have cloth bags or bags for life from supermarkets, saved me a fortune to as we now pay for every bag we use if not bought your own. He looked nice and chubby and so pleased he didn't feel the pain of cuts. ❤😊

[@mikethetoolman8776]

The beaches are looking nice this time there! almost summer!!??

[@wholoveskitty]

I’m old enough to remember when we didn’t have those damn plastic bags and we did just fine without them. We are killing the planet with these disposable plastics. 😞. I wish disposable plastic everything would be taken off the market. Straws, bags, zip lock bags, plastic wrap, all of it, gone. We will adjust!

[@marionanthony1530]

Back in the 60s my Mother would wash and reuse plastic bags. Recycling before it was even a thought.

[@davidsteuber7174]

Nice. Thank You.

[@ЭльвираПалько-ч2п]

[@betterforthisthingweliveon]

That seal was probably thinking worst day ever, first a plastic bag stuck on me then a guy chasing me! But his luck 🍀 changed and life went back to normal ❤

[@CarmenRodriguez-rj6my]

If every time we go to the beach and each day we are there happy to bath in the sea we could collect one paper or any kind or garbage, animals will be safer, let’s do it! 💕

[@olgapyat]

Hi! This seal tried to avoid people, but they surrounded him, and they didn't even use a net. They cut off the plastic bag, and that's it - you can continue enjoying life! At the beginning of the video, Denzil runs very beautifully!) Thank you to all the rescuers! Today is November 29, 2024. This wonderful channel has 2.13 million subscribers. (We need even more subscribers!)

[@Mcat7101]

😊 Hi. Denzil runs like a greyhound. Always love to hear Naude's 'off you go' too. Edit: noticed typo

[@olgapyat]

@@Mcat7101 , 🤗 They are all beautiful, interesting, and each has its own "zest"😊

[@LiamWakefield]

It looked so flimsy, but more than strong enough to fatally hurt the pup. 😢

[@olgapyat]

@@LiamWakefield ,👋Yes, we have seen the damage such bags can cause..

[@jesterday2222]

Is that a flamingo casually flying by at 0:02 ? :) And I love the shot of the 4 of you after that, looking sharp and ready to go! You guys are amazing 💕

[@colleeneggertson2117]

Excellent save.

[@dianacryer]

Crab eater seals are the fastest seals on land and can move at just over 16 miles an hour. That’s faster than I thought they could move. Denzil could catch them though.

I hope that in the very near future that they teach kids right at school, the dangers of all these plastic items that are so harmful to wild life.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

👍

[@BudaKhan420]

Are there any seals anywhere that you recognize and have befriended or the seal is, you know, very familiar and relaxed with you?

[@LiamWakefield]

The team has had some "repeat customers", but limits their interactions as much as they can to not allow the seals to become too relaxed around them. The big, lazy seals at the docks have become somewhat habituated to human presence, but the team still try not to add to that. 😁👍

[@Anne69J7]

You must be exhausted after all that chasing! Plastic bags will haunt us forever.😢Well done!

[@marionanthony1530]

300 comments, at the time I watched this download. I watched all 300. I have noticed many foreign languages in comments and I translate late them all to read. You go around the world. Thank you OCN

[@barbaramorales7329]

Awesome job on the cutie❤❤❤

[@maxwellcrazycat9204]

The seal should have chosen paper instead of plastic.

[@mikegrand4181]

Please leave a comment, share the video with friends and like every OCN video. The more that people interact in the comment section the more recognition from the youtube algorithm and that is great for the channel. Let the OCN crew know how thankful we are for their continued efforts!

[@normanmans3477]

[@nariu7times328]

I looked up Pelican Point on google maps today; did you know they mark the spot with the term "sea lions?" Map experts, not zoology experts I suppose. :D

[@jefffromnorthdakota]

Great job guys

[@dudolfeichenkamp5543]

You have to cuddle the Seals a little bit sometimes.

[@williamdewit5432]

In my fantasy land, whales and dolphins might help to clean up the oceans if "we" deliver the tools to them. Communicating with them is I think possible with channelers. Off course they might say: "It's your stuff"... but who knows. Anyway.... Ocean clean up is off course the biggest clean up process on earth right now we are proud off.

[@luzstellapelaez4050]

Pregunta desde mi ignorancia: después de tanto tiempo de estar UDS allá, las focas todavia no se han acostumbrado a convivir con los humanos??? Porque todo el tiempo huyen!!!😊

[@LiamWakefield]

These areas are a little off the beaten path and are nature reserves. Plus, getting the seals used to humans is not encouraged. Good observation, though 👍

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Los humanos han sacrificado lobos marinos del Cabo durante siglos, por lo que nos perciben como depredadores. Al no ser la tierra su elemento, siempre correrán hacia el agua por seguridad cuando nos acerquemos.

[@MichelleL1st]

Graphic question just a heads up. What predators eat the dead seals on the beach? I would imagine carrion but what else? Thanks for what you guys do.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Cape fur seals do not have many predators on land. In our colonies, only seabirds, jackals and hyenas prey on newborns, but they return to their scavenger diet once the pups are big enough to defend themselves.

[@MichelleL1st]

@@OceanConservationNamibia Thank you for that information. Very interesting. I did look up if there were lions in your area but found out they are north of your area.

[@janiebennett5645]

Thank you for the amazing work you do to save these wonderful creatures. I am still confused as to why they are attracted to things that are circular in shape. Does anyone know?

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

They are not, there is just too much rubbish in the ocean of them to avoid it.

[@PenneySounds]

This must be a stressful thing to be doing. You have to terrify, restrain, and even at times cut these animals with your own hands. Even though you know you're doing that to save them from much greater harm, that still must take a toll on you emotionally. It's a bit of a trolley problem situation, where there's the greater harm that you're not personally causing, and the lesser harm that you are. The choices are to leave these animals to suffer and die from entanglements that you personally aren't responsible for (though we as humans collectively are), or to personally inflict pain and distress on them yourself in order to save them from that. Even though the thing you're doing is significantly less harmful than doing nothing, it still must feel awful at times to have to be the one personally doing things to these animals that they certainly perceive as an attack.
