One of the awesome things about this is that these animals aren't even technically endangered. This is pure humanitarianism with a goal to stop the suffering of an animal

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Ideally spread the word of a global issue while we're helping these animals. Thank you so much!

[@Raskolnikov1990]

This rescue was kind of surreal, as everyone is still on the beach, even the rescued mom seems to be confused why noone is panicking and running away.

[@user-uh5tb9er4o]

so true dreamlike, even that camera off to the side gave a distorted perception

[@pericodelospalotes5738]

Here comes the vertical liberator. Relax, folks.

[@gildaolsen2888]

His know-how is amazing to the point he did what he did today without them getting dispersed. 💗

[@lilstarfishdude]

Yes! Maybe we just witnessed the "Hundredth monkey effect" in action?! If so that would mean that all the seals now know that Naude is not an actual danger to them, only that it might hurt if they got something wrapped around them.

[@HamabaJuJu]

The crowd of seals don't charge or run, because they figured is yet another male seal forcing himself on a female.

[@neeosstuff7540]

Wow, two years ago, and this is still an amazing video. The fact that Naude was able to be so close without scaring them is amazing. It's so cool that Naude was willing to spend so much time sneaking up on them so that he wouldn't disturb them is amazing too.

[@giftofthewild6665]

Maybe while he's sneaking along the beach or crouched down like that he just looks like a seal to them? They probably don't recognize his shape as a predator when he's lying and crawling along the beach.

[@AnAngeryDog]

Who gives these videos a thumbs down? 🤔 🤷🏻‍♂️ The people on these videos should be rewarded for saving helpless animals. 🏆🏆🏆 🙏

[@scottscott232]

What an ingenious strategy, Naude. Not only were the rest of the seals undisturbed but the release seal just casually ambled away, and paused as if to say 'nothing to see here folks'. That was by far one of the very best single handed capture-aid-release plans executed to date.

[@platedlizard]

yes she seemed more confused than frightened. great rescue

[@markk9586]

The word is definitely getting around in the seal community that these guys are only capturing to help them.

[@gteaz]

@@markk9586 This will help the seals understand better rather than thinking they're being attacked all the time.

[@markk9586]

Criminals Hate Cameras , exactly. I wonder if the seals watch their capture and release videos on KZbin.

[@gteaz]

@@markk9586 In the Navy they do.

Naude has the biggest heart of anyone I have come across. Merry Christmas to him, his family, and the Ocean Conservation Namibia Team.

[@stephanieyee9784]

Naude! That was amazing incredible capture, rescue and release. How on earth you managed to pull that off without disrupting the colony is amazing. That was the ultimate sneak attack! You are a very patient man, Naude and it's great to know that you take so much care to plan the rescues.

[@aliceczyz7104]

Best catch yet. Why don’t all of you dress entirely in black? Is their color discrimination not sharp? What is that thing on stilts in the water? What type of vessels pass by in your area?

[@alabaster193]

What an incredible catch. Thank you, Sir. You are a credit to the human race and a blessing to these animals.

[@mountaingirl1797]

Profanity not necessary... seriously...🤦🏼‍♀️

[@annedances]

"That was my Christmas!" It's lovely that you enjoy your job so much, and incredible to perform a rescue with so little disturbance. A very real tribute to your knowledge, skill and experience. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@gardengnome132]

Amazing. Naude is the Obi-Wan of seal rescue. Being so careful to not spook the others - at considerable risk to yourself - is more than commendable.

[@meteoman7958]

Merry Christmas, Naude. That was very well done.

[@stevenhensman2541]

My dear friend I'm going to say thank you thank you thank you and thank you for looking after mine and your God's creation

[@geebeepman]

I love the way she runs a few feet away from him after getting released but then just sits right there like nothing happened.

[@binkyxz3]

Yes, right between the guy who jumped on her and her baby pup. Amazing. 😐

[@CaSCHWANK]

strong cat energy tbh

[@twilit]

The calm of the rest of the group helped her not be more upset

[@jennymedrano5942]

That's because she's feeling better after the rescue.

[@mikefoley5792]

She knows she can trust him.

[@stephendimino332]

I am so amazed at how well you not only treat your patients. But how well you treat each other!!

[@shAnn0n1]

Just amazing. The 45 minute wait, her finally falling asleep, Naude quietly capturing her......he was so stealth like that the others didn't even notice. Just amazing.

[@gabrielasaldivia7923]

FELIZ NAVIDAD from Venezuela!!! I hope Baby Jesus brings tons of love and health for all the members of OCN family!!!

[@jimratliff2753]

That was your most stealth capture and release yet. You did it all by yourself with little disturbance to the other seals. So well done!

[@theresaskrzynski9916]

Naude, this was such a VERY smooth and stealthy approach, net, removal and return!! This mom showed almost no trauma. I just love that her and her baby were not separated for long. Over an hour of creeping and crawling and yet you were so careful and gentle and mindful of the entire colony🥰

[@StanJan]

HOW does one man have such a blessed connection with the universe to be able to do this. And do it alone. It's almost a religous experiance to be able to watch you "do" your calling. Totaly incredable. Thank you. It is an honor to watch you. Thank you.

[@andreiarama8745]

There's no doubt about it,the seals learned the words "it's ok,no,no,no" and are not scared anymore 🤣🤣🤣

[@fido3561]

She is a Beauty as Steve Erwin would say. What a great Christmas gift to the world. Thanks so much.

[@manditoemya8478]

You have the patience of a saint, 45 min till she sleeps crawling for over 20 min to not disturb the others and then so gentle with her... Great Job!

[@karensimons6885]

Amazing to see, Naude! The whole group just quietly enjoying their day, and you slither in and perform a removal without exciting anyone! Even the Mom not quite aware😺🤗😊❤️👍

[@theheartland1861]

That was probably the stealthiest save you've made. All the other seals remained calm, and when you cut the line and released her, she stayed close by, probably because of the babies. Great save👍👍 smooth as could be

[@mojo68mitch]

That was a good one. So relaxed after you netted her. Amazing.

[@mimossaa6360]

May God be with you every day of your life! 🙏🏼💫❤⚘😘🇺🇸

This has to be my favorite video so far. It was so cool to see her start to take off but because her capture was so stealthy that the other seals were not alarmed, she immediately calmed down also. That was awesome!
