Huge Seal Bull Drags Long Rope

This gorgeous seal bull lets us know he is boss with a few deep growls! He does not appreciate the big rescue net, but we have no choice. We must catch him and remove a long rope from his neck to save him and other potential victims. Beachgoers and campers commonly use this type of rope to secure their tents. Most of our seals are entangled in industrial rubbish, mainly from the fishing industry. But it is too easy to blame the fishing industry only. We also find plenty of ocean rubbish from recreational activities. 🦭

It was great to hear him breathe normal once the rope was cut off. Thank you Team OCN for rescuing him. Be Safe! 💙🌊🦭✂️

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Yes. The rope was very tight.

[@AryonaSamoto]

That growl is so ominous in the beginning, then just sounds indignant when you've removed the rope🤗 Big boy definitely gonna father fierce babies in the future🙌 Thank you all🙏❤

[@ramonavowinkel5987]

💯👍🦭❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@lindac6032]

Love to hear him take that deep breath after you cut the rope. Thanks, team!♻️

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Always a relief. The rope was impeding his breathing.

[@CallieMasters5000]

Watching these videos, we forget the smells involved in these rescues. When the guys mention how strong the infection or musk smell is, we know it has to be bad.

[@RL-RL]

Those Bulls are probably the most dangerous ones to deal with. Great job with the trruck and teamwork. I'm amazed that others weren't caught in that long line as well. Now it can be free and live a normal and safe life thanks to OCN!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

The bulls are stronger than the rest, so we have to be extra careful when dealing with them.

[@eileenentler8993]

That could've been so much worse with all that line dragging behind ... nice job of removing that death trap from him just in time. LOVE hearing Tony narrate the rescues and I loved hearing the chortling noises that big boy was making. Thanks, OCN HEROES! ❤

[@carolleighton4579]

Thank goodness no other animals were affected by the rope ,he seemed to be looking good as he went back to the ocean. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@bho5sumkyul]

The seal's deep growls sound intimidating. Great work as always, OCN!

[@ellenschneider7787]

What a deep voice that big boy had! He definitely wasn’t afraid to challenge the net. Thanks team for helping him 🦭🌊💙

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

Nice job❤️! It was harder to get this big growling boy out of the net then in😉! Thanks for cutting and removing that awfully tight rope, which was left behind on the beach by careless people😠.

[@grannybee]

That's a feisty, big dude. That deep breath was awesome.

[@luciebrisson5881]

That rope was so tight, it's a wonder the seal could breathe at all. So glad you were able to capture him and cut it away. Great job by all. Thank you!

[@lindac6032]

Glad you spotted him and cut the rope before it entangled any other seals. Fantastic job!👏

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Yes. Always a relief.

[@l.faraday8767]

The relief when the rope was cut was palpable. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

It's really about time that Robert Marc Lehmann visited you and lent a hand to help the poor souls. I love your work so much! 👌💙

[@nicklager1666]

Ahh yes the classic drive in. Such a long rope. Atleast the young bull looked healthy. Must be rather recent.

[@kareyreuben3869]

Another magnificent animal saved from a shortened life filled with misery and disablement! Thank you!

[@barbll000]

Great rescue guys. Never get tired of watching seals get saved.

[@aliceschwartz9251]

Toni you are wonderful talking to the seals! ❤

[@sqwerlgirl1332]

Big Boi!! The deprhs of his growls, Wow! You guys almost need a "Super size" net for those bulls 😂

[@fannycraddock99]

Great catch Denzil. He was big and strong but would have died without your intervention. Thanks guys.

[@MrsOx-jz9fg]

That big boy sounded like a dragon snarling when Denzil first got him in the net. Great Job on the save n potential saves from 1 rope ❤

[@maeterith1984]

Beautiful boy. So glad he can breath. 🤗❤️ It makes me sick thinking how many suffered torturous deaths before you started helping them. 😢

[@naomispargo9644]

Handsome young seal!! Tony is so sweet for showing them so much verbal affection; I'm sure the seals pick it up. Thank you OCN!!

[@sjean2166]

I love coming to the comments and seeing so many different languages; the OCN team reaches people around the globe.

[@ktinxx]

Helping these magnificent animals survive another day must be a daily dose of serotonin for you guys! 😉 I love the confidence, skill, and swiftness with which you execute your rescues nowadays, thereby not only reducing the time each rescue takes but also reducing the stress for the animal to a minimum. I am convinced they pick up on your calm and focused and above all benign intent even though their instinct initially moves them to rebel against a perceived threat. I think the moment of release confirms it: most of the time they seem to be simply puzzled that the life-threatening situation they thought themselves to be in was actually not life-threatening at all - and all their bluster evaporates into thin air... Well done, you guys and gal! ❣️👏

[@jimdeadlock]

The guttural roar the big boys make is fabulous!

[@christina3maria]

i love it when these big boys first get covered by the net but still try to stand up and look around and just end up looking like The Sorting Hat

[@elizabethlarsen2763]

It does look like the Sorting Hat!

So glad that, that entanglement was spotted ,as it certainty would have gotten entangled on another seal ,,as you've shown us that other seals try to help each other to rid them selves from entanglements . Well done team OCN what ever eles is going on in the world ,you lift my spirits about humanity every day. thank you all ❤❤

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

The seals might play with it if it's big and shiny or long and dragging like the rope, but they would probably not know what an entanglement is.

[@rebeccaburke9009]

Those seals can bite. ❤

If he gotten much bigger, that would’ve been cutting his throat, poor baby thank you for doing what you do

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Yes. Always a relief to save them before any damage.

[@lisacasoli4134]

The sounds he was making were like he was grumbling telling you leave me alone but I'm sure he can breathe easier now and enjoy his life alot better great job

Olá meus anjos do mar obrigada 🇵🇹 🙏 bom trabalho que Deus abençoe vocês 🙏

[@maxwellcrazycat9204]

Glad you found him. That rope could have gotten tangled on something under water and drowned the animal.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Yes. It could've also entangled another seal. Huge relief to have removed it and save the seal.

[@MichaelBradley1967]

He is strong, like bull !

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Yes. Good sign. 🙂

Ha ha. He is strong. IS bull.

Every now and then an adult seal will calm down when it's in the net, almost as if it had been rescued when it was little and remembered that.

[@mariannewilliams845]

That's one big puppy Antoine 😊

[@studiosandi]

Yaaaaaaay puppy❤

[@pennylane2304]

That glorious growl at 0:59 must be totally amazing in real life. And then there's those razor sharp teeth to deal with - well done team.

[@jaykb6587]

I don't know how the OCN crew can do this. Fighting a big bull seal that weighs about as much as any of them. And has SHARP teeth with every intention of using them on anyone and anything. Especially anyone attached to that fearful black net! The talent and expertise shows as this huge guy shows exactly how unhappy he is to be rescued. Some thanks! Oh well, it's just another day, another life saved, and another video down... 😘

[@theheartland1861]

the rope could have also gotten hung up in anything below the surface of the water, which could have drowned him, it's great you were able to cut the rope from his neck and quickly back into the water he goes, breathing at 100%. another great rescue, and another very happy seal👍👍

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Yes. Always a relief.

[@srsusansummers3070]

Thanks for the rescue. Now he can go & help make babies
