Baby Seal Rescued From Rope

Fat, strong, and in excellent health. Baby seals are very curious and playful. While in the ocean, he unfortunately got himself entangled in a piece of rope. The entanglement was just starting to cut into his skin. Fortunately, there is no sign of a severe wound or even discomfort. Now he can recover and get even bigger!

Even though Antione almost got bit, he's very good at catching pups free handed! Then the gang tried to help the pup with an ambush, but the rest of the team saved him. Great job at saving another one from it's demise!

[@lindac6032]

That group of seals was aiming straight for Tony, and didn't look like they were going to veer away, until Naude headed them off. Too bad they can't realize you are helping them. Thanks, guys!👏

[@bengoolie5197]

The leader of those charging seals was saying: "C'mon, boys, we're going to pour a can of whopazz on this guy with the net that is kneeling on Charlie!

[@doreenrossi7684]

Why does he yell at them? Will they come over and bite?? They were moving!!!!

[@CrowPal]

@@doreenrossi7684 They certainly looked like they meant business. Better safe than sorry. Good save!

[@Mcat7101]

Pup was pleasantly chubby. I am sure his mood improved when he was freed minus the rope Thank you OCN❤😊

[@luciebrisson5881]

Antoine saved the seal and Naude saved Antoine and the seal from a small stampede. Two successful interventions. It's a good thing you spotted the pup. Now he can stay mega and grow even bigger and stronger. Thank you OCN.

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

🫣This chubby seal pup almost bit Antoine's hand and a couple of seals got a little too close for comfort. But all ended well, both for the pup as for Antoine!😊💕🦭

[@carolleighton4579]

Great catch Tony, the pup wasn't aware of the trouble he was in ,it could have been torture, now he can enjoy his freedom. Thankyou OCN.🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@AlternGabriel]

Thank you, OCN, for rescuing this poor seals that suffer and even if a seal is worse than other one, the entanglement still hurts for them and you guys always help these creatures, and I’ve already told my family and friends about you, and we all are grateful for what you do, thank you very much ❤ 🦭 Greeting from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@gardengnome132]

I'm always amazed at the pup's dexterity, he almost gave you a love bite for your trouble, Antoine! Thanks to you and Naude for saving his life.

[@Dickstick]

People have lost fingers and limbs already because they underestimate seals. They are big predators armed with sharp teeth.

Yes, I understand that. But given the degree of ocean pollution that these animals face, these skills right now increase the chances of them getting a new chance of survival@@OceanConservationNamibia

We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

I hope that everybody that watches and supports this channel can donate at least one dollar to this cause. Chubby puppy would have died without the help of the OCN crew. It’s such an important endeavor thank you to everybody who watches and supports this channel.

[@nicklager1666]

The ocean looked cold and angry on this rescue. Fun seeing half of the group running into the water when the video starts the other only observing the OCN team at first.

I’m trying to give up buying single-use plastic but it’s not easy because I LOVE crisps (potato chips). Need to start making my own ones! Not trying to ‘virtue signal’ - just spreading a tiny bit of awareness. Love to you all at OCN. X
