Entangled Seal Almost Gets Away

Seals are not to be underestimated on land. Cape fur seal bulls can run on land at 20km/h. Humans can sprint at an average of 24km/h - on a good day! On the beach, we are a lot slower. We can’t afford to slip up or else the seal will get away and who knows when we’ll get another chance to save him before it’s too late.

[@MaryFreeman1565]

Good job!!

[@tracytracy1030]

Don't forget to let the commercials play...

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Wow. High tide, the power and weight of the seal plus cold water, wet sand and a wet net, on a steep beach and Roman coming to a skid stop…. His smile says it all. Really well done, team!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

🙂👍

[@carolleighton4579]

The team needed all their skills to help him, seemed quite rough day, he was soon back to the ocean free from the junk. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@lindac6032]

It seems like sooner or later every rescuer has a sliding rescue into the water. Nice move, Roman! Thanks, team!🏃‍➡️🌊👏

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

😁👍

[@aperson900]

Roman got moves, baby! A seal rescuer with style!

[@paddyjenkins8458]

Thank you Roman and my other two OCN heroes, another beautiful baby saved by OCN.

[@rosabravo6336]

You immediately know who is new on the team because they are not barefoot regardless of the cold weather!!, but that didn't stop him from catching the signal so you guys could help her!! Like always… good job my heroes!! 👏👍😍

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Barefoot is the way to go 😁

[@hendriklurse6518]

Thank you my heroes for saving him ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼

[@bkm2797]

Alright Roman, that's a big boy or girl too! Another save, Thank you!❤️🙏🏻👍

[@ellenschneider7787]

Excellent sliding catch there Roman. Nice that the seal cooperated when Naude said he wasn’t seated in the net properly. When he heard that he scooched up just enough to make it easier for everyone involved. Well done gentlemen!🦭🌊💙

[@user-qb2os6nh5z]

🥰LOVE U ALL FOR DOING THIS! PLEASE donate and share....thanks🤩

[@louannseeram2547]

Any bigger he wouldn't be able to fit in net. Great job team their.lives depend on u so much.

[@RL-RL]

That was very close to getting away! Thank you Team OCN for saving this very strong Bull.

[@eponack]

He was NOT letting that one slip away! Well done!

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

Fortunately the green tag was visible from far away, and the rescue could be performed because of Roman's smooth move! Thanks guys!✂️💕🦭

[@user-wk8et6cd3o]

어렵고 힘들지만 정말 좋은 일 하시네요. 어려움에 처한 동물들을 구조해주셔서 감사합니다~~❤❤👏👏👍

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

이것은 우리가 개발하지 않았으면 좋았을 기술이지만 불행하게도 지금은 경험이 매우 많습니다.

[@fionamcwilliam8703]

Excellent job Roman on a tricky seal rescue! The earliest of many I hope!

[@Mcat7101]

Very well caught, Roman - I bet he thought he had given the team the slip. It was his lucky day, even though he didn’t realise it - thank you all for saving him❤

[@thetorchyblameseries8100]

Welcome, Roman. I don't think I've seen you before. Thanks OCN, for the amazing work you do. It's nearly impossible sometimes - as your description says; it HAS to be taxing on your nerves and body; but the gratitude from almost 2 million of us subscribers cannot be measured. If I had enough money, I would certainly send it.

[@FualngeeeMLBB]

Thanks for helping seals❤

[@posnrg2u327]

Good catch Roman! Thank you team OCN for saving the seal ❤❤❤

[@thefletch211]

Great catch

[@debbiebertram]

I’m glad Roman joined the team. You can see where his heart is.

[@michi24580]

That catch was the perfect "one knee proposal technique" well done guys

[@yamnjam]

Everyone *donate* to these guys! The work they do is vital and selfless. At least buy some merch!

[@LRBerry]

Great capture Roman.

[@ScottWorthington]

I'm sure some do get away. Save the ones you can and look for future opportunities to rescue the ones you missed. Job well done fellas!

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

Heavy seal and wet nets! Thank you Roman, Naude and others, a gorgeous seal has been a rescued ❤❤❤❤. Thank you very much, OCN TEAM ❣

[@ramblynrocketeer]

👋😁 OCN Team inspires us! Another seal saved 🦭💛🌍 🏝️🐬 Aloha from Kauai Hawaii

[@krista2216]

Perfect catch from the new team member Roman! You braced for the weight of the seal so well! Thanks to everyone!❤😊

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

🙂👍

[@jaykb6587]

Two soaking wet nets. Two soaking wet OCN crew, and one freed seal. Good ratio! 😮😊. Welcome to the OCN crew and our videos, Roman! Great to have you. Even if your feet arent bare. Yet. 😀❤️👍

[@corneliakruchten8440]

Strong man, Roman! Well done! 😀

[@latheofheaven1017]

Fantastic work!

[@apveening]

Almost but not quite, well done.

[@stephanieb7311]

Like sliding in to 3rd base nice job Roman.

[@sarahbarton4977]

No chance to escape when your double netted

[@luciebrisson5881]

Impressive net & slide action by Roman. Well done, getting to him just in time so he could be saved. Thank you OCN!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

👍

[@gidget8717]

Well done, Roman!👏👏👏👏👍

[@vivaldi1948]

Great job Roman!

[@michael-jl7qv]

When the seals start getting to a bigger size, it's always a little more difficult opening and closing the zippers on the nets. Even So, once they're released that happily go quickly into the water, knowing they feel much better. Great rescues by great rescuers👍👍

[@thomasglessner6067]

Thank you, noble men.

[@patriciawilson1836]

YEAAAAAAAA Roman, GREAT SAVE. You guys REALLY ROCK 😅😅

[@Nina-vc8mo]

Дякую вам котик чуть не втік завдяки вашим зусиллям ваша праця пройшла не даремно ❤

[@kayt3900]

🤗❤ Great, guys! Awesome sliding catch, Roman! 💪😎

[@user-sx3ji7ne8n]

Well done! Must be difficult to run in that soft sand! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Zoronick]

How many times have you guys had to practice jumping off the vehicle like that? It's impressive! Thank you for saving so many seals over the years!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

We didn't get much practice, but over time we got better 😁

[@suek.5057]

Way to go, Roman! Welcome aboard. ❤OCN

Slick move, Roman, that was fast thinking! 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙

Wet suits and knee pads were needed today. Good job, Roman and crew!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Indeed 🙂

[@dkrt8664]

Welcome to the team Roman!! Excellent moves there!

[@LambieSamba]

Well done Roman, you are a good addition to the team!

The workout those zippers get you should get the manufacturer as a sponsor.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

These zippers have been through it all 😁

[@dannyboyy31]

For some reason I initially read the title as "Entitled seal almost gets away'. My first thought was 'Bit harsh on the seal' 😂

[@lynngreene1993]

Wow!!! A well done from me too Roman 😊 (sure l was not the only viewer very impressed!) Big boy to deal with in soft sand & surf. Team work at its best with a new team member 👊👊👊

[@JasakaD]

❤

[@vickiephilpitt7697]

Apparently it was cold on this day of rescue. I hope everyone wears wet suits to keep dry on the off chance they end up in water like the day of filming. Not only will the wetsuits keep you all dry, but work as an extra layer of insulation. Nice save on this one guys!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

🙂👍
