"Lazy" Baby Seal Stays With His Rescuers

Naude and his team of rescuers are scanning a big group of seals at Pelican Point. The seals are far away from the ocean which gives the rescuers the opportunity to scan the whole group thoroughly. Kat spots a seal that is entangled in thin fishing line. Wally secures the seal, but this seal pup is already too big for the small net and they to move it over to the bigger net, and they succeed with the rescue. The seal seems very comfortable in the net, he needs a few encouraging words from the rescue team before he decides to leave the rescuers behind! 🦭

[@sharondonelow5364]

I wish they were all so friendly. Maybe if the guys started giving out snacks after, then the seals would start lining up for them? 😊 lol

She just waited for you to net her again, that’s so precious! And then stayed with you. Thanks OCN, that was a perfect video.

[@hopetopper7956]

*Kat - Good eye 👁️ spotting the brown 🤎 pup! *Wally - Nice, but lazy 🦥 catch! If all seal cooperate the way the pup did, your work would be seamless. *Denzel - Not so fiesty pup, eh. It looked like you were expecting a challenge 😜! **Thank You Team OCN for your tireless seal 🦭 rescue, which never goes unnoticed.**👏🥰🎣🌊🌎🦭

[@deborahduthie4519]

It won’t be long now, for seals to come towards those offering freedom, instead of fleeing to the Sea. Good job 👍🏼

He's not lazy. He's just conserving his strength for when it matters. Maybe he's more intelligent than average, and observes, "these monkey creatures don't actually hurt anyone." He's a thinking seal.

this cute little guy wasn't sure which way the group was, or the water! he was very mellow. i like that.

[@gillybean5672]

He was happy to have met such cool new friends.

[@silverlakegirl9078]

It's so tragic that one simple little piece of fishing line is so deadly to these poor seals. Every time I see the team hold one up it seems so inconceivable. With all the power these seals have, it's amazing they can't break free of it themselves, especially if the line is old. It breaks my heart to see them with deep cuts. Good thing they have the Salt Water Pharmacy readily available 24-7 or they would all be doomed. This team is just too good for words........ Their relentless pursuit to save these animals is astounding. Thank you sooooo much, Seal Whisperers!!! Every video for me is like a shot in the arm!

[@powerzx]

Just imagine how painfull it is for them to swim in the salt water with open wound :(

[@silverlakegirl9078]

@@powerzx I thought of that as well. "Salt on the wound" has been a catch phrase for decades. Obviously, we know the reason for it. I just shivered, thinking about how unrelenting painful it must be.

[@michaelcranston5660]

What gets me is how they have so many videos, meaning these entanglements are very frequent, much more than I would ever have guessed. I am glad they are there to help these animals out.

[@WHITELIONNYC]

@@michaelcranston5660 imagine they were like "we're running out content. Get some nets and fishing lines on the shore!" Just joking but there are people that seriously do evil things like that. One I am aware of is the animal rescue channels. Some of them injure the animals themselves and then they show how they brought it magically back to good health when in actuality it's footage of before they hurt the animal. 😭😭😭

[@michaelcranston5660]

@@WHITELIONNYC I believe I have seen at least one of those. Very disturbing. It was made apparent on a debunking channel showing evidence of what you said. I feel for the poor animals.

[@daisycocoa2557]

There is a very large seal in the cove that lives near us. Never see him out of the water, ever, summers for years here, no idea where he goes to rest. No shortage of amateur fishermen around and I worry about him.

Aww he's wondering where all his friends are. Plus he's slow. What a cutie.

[@battles146]

another great rescue! I really think especially the younger seals sense your team is there to help them - I personally cringe every time I hear a seal gasping for breath because they are slowly being strangled to death through human ignorance - as so many of these rescues involve 'recreational fishing line' what chance is there for the local authorities to put together an 'informational do and don't' campaign?

[@onnalexseeias]

Thank you 😊
