Entangled Seal Refuses The Rescue Net

[@anna9072]

Feisty little guy! Glad you were able to rescue him before he knew he was in trouble!

[@luciebrisson5881]

He wasn't having the net but Hawain was having none of his tantrum and got on with the rescue. Thank you OCN. for saving him.

[@seadahlia7936]

a win-win

[@fannycraddock99]

Obviously a rare snapping seal who had places to go and friends to see in a hurry! Thanks.

[@AwesomeFish12]

Thank you OCN for saving this pup. Every one makes a big difference.

[@CrowPal]

I like how the other seals stop nearby and watch the drama unfold with as keen an interest as we do.

[@1sgooden]

Nicely done and you got to him before it cut into him! Well done! Thank you! Be safe!

[@lindag4484]

Just a brief pause in your day, little seal, and you are free of entanglement. 👍

[@vivaldi1948]

Yea Hawain!

[@Kuklapolitan]

Hi guys...I hear the little ones in the background and that's always a welcome sound! Oh my...he was a feisty one indeed but you, and I'm not certain who you are...but you were able to control and release him. Thanks!

[@Nina-vc8mo]

Як добре що ви є допомога малюку вчасно ❤

[@colleeneggertson2117]

That was a fast rescue. Glad that you publish a monthly newsletter, too, that people can subscribe to. You do so many more things than the rescues. Very impressive how you engage with the government, fishing industry, schools, local community, waste collection, and you are learning how to rehabilitate endangered penguins.

[@trouty7947]

I like how the seals are getting used to this. They don't like it, but they also know you're not trying to kill them 😂

[@skyedaisy4007]

Thank you for saving him.

[@RadhikaChemjong-z3p]

I have watched how you save the seals . Thank you so much for rescuing them.

[@superdouge]

Nice, Quick and Easy... You all are making some of these rescues look easy now a days... Great Job...

[@pcbacklash_3261]

Thankfully, the plastic straps are always the easiest rescues. One quick snip and it falls away as they run. The fishing lines and gill nets are tougher, often wrapped around flippers and even through the seal's mouth. THE toughest rescues of all are the hooks in the mouth. Just awful!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Thanks for the kind words! It’s not always as easy as it looks.

[@Carol-wb9nd]

He was a angry little soul well done Hawain and the team another one gets a second chance because of you guys.

Thanks guys.

[@nicklager1666]

The good thing was that the pup focused on biting the net and not the rescuer that happens on occasion. That gave Hawain ample time to plant in a good holding position.

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Aside from watching these rescues, one thing that kind of amuses me about these videos are the reactions of seals realizing that people are closer to them than they realize.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

😁

[@nataliyachepurnova29]

Amazing work. You are inspiring me to step into this line of work! ❤

[@TriforceOfCourage97]

it seems like they get used to you there, they dont all run and try to get away as far anymore. now if they would all just understand you are there to help and to just walk up to you it would be amazing :D

[@olgapyat]

Hello everyone! The seal didn't like the net. It happens! But that doesn't mean the seal won't be saved. No matter how much you growl, you'll live if you fall into the hands of an OCN rescuer! Thank you very much OCN for everything you do. Today is January 13, 2025. This amazing channel has 2.16 million subscribers.

Didn't have time for toast and coffee after being woken up. No wonder he was extra grumpy 😂

NICE SEAL SAVE! 0:51 That was a weird shot. On the sandy beaches they are usually all running toward the water. Maybe the seals are getting use to them like at the other place with the rocky beach area with the wooden walkway!

[@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. Our rescues highlight the urgent need to address the root causes of ocean pollution-like our reliance on single-use plastics and the gaps in law enforcement and recycling efforts.

Another white packaging strap. I bet you can work out its source.

[@kristinajendesen7111]

Well done for all you do heroes 👏👏👏 Just a thought. You're so inventive with your rescue equipment, could you not make a seal shaped muzzle to use temporarily and save yourself from the risk of being bitten. Also to make the rescue quicker. I can picture it in my mind just covering the snout and eyes but leaving room to cut lines etc., underneath straps.
