Rescuer Crawls To Save Entangled Seal

[@carolleighton4579]

Lovely video of the puppies, glad you managed to help the seal, Dad wasn't very happy about you being there. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@evab6896]

Lucky little seal ❤Thank you

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

This reminds me of the Christmas video Naude did that was purely 5 minutes of pups on the beach. Pure innocence.

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

A long, long crawl + that protective seal bull came very close + you almost got bitten when you released the rescued seal. In short; a tricky rescue. Thanks Naude!💕🦭

[@patriot4usa]

That is so cool to be able to crawl up that close to the seals. Thanks for the rescue.

[@l.faraday8767]

Those baby seals are just as so cute! Another great rescue! Thanks Naude! 😎🇨🇦😎

[@hendriklurse6518]

Thank you Team OCN for saving him ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼

[@ТатьянаСальникова-ь8в]

Как я их люблю,эти милые маленькие хрюкалки.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Спасибо Науд за спасение жизни

[@vivaldi1948]

That bull looked really intimidating when you were looking up at him. Glad you could save that baby.

[@suek.1507]

Thanks for helping that feisty little one. ❤ OCN

[@Am-graphix]

OMG look at those babies 🥰

[@j4v4x]

That was the cutest thing, and also terrifying! Thank you to Naude for saving this little one, and thank you to Katja for allowing him to do such crazy things! Love to Team OCN!! 💙🖤🤍

[@soniapontes4089]

Great approach Naude ....but the big bull was scary! Pls be careful!

[@billconsig]

Wow, Great approach!

[@thebyrd433]

I want to cuddle those precious little pups... 💕 Thank you for dodging that big bull and saving that young seal!!!

[@1sgooden]

Thank you Naude…and all the rest of you. May all of you and those you care for be safe. Happy holidays!

[@colleeneggertson2117]

The newborns are so adorable. The one year old is swimming so more at risk of entanglement. It took a lot of care and patience to rescue this one without causing a stampede. Well done Naude!

[@ImOutASAP]

Excellent work

[@The-KimP]

Great job Naude! Bit of a shock when that large bull started approaching!

[@CsendesMark]

This approach was really interesting and cute with the lazy baby in the way. Hope the save seal did not bit you!

[@petatomlinson1934]

So young and already suffering from our negligence. Thanks team

[@erikadr5710]

Es ist interessant einmal so direkt die Gruppe zu sehen und zu hören. Danke ❤ für eure Arbeit, es macht die Welt ein Stück besser🌎💚🌍🌞

[@posnrg2u327]

Thank you Naude for saving the yearling from certain death due to it’s entanglement ❤❤❤

[@RL-RL]

Naude did a great job saving this one. From the slow approach, to dragging it away from the group to save it, then almost got bit! Thank you for saving another little chunk!

[@TH-hy9kr]

I love watching you guys work! Whenever I feel like there's not much good in the world, this channel, and ones like it, remind me that there is.

[@stephanieb7311]

Wow that was an impressive approach.

[@KeePenne]

I thought so, too! It was a very interesting video to watch because we we're all eye to eye with them!

[@stevenhulbert7540]

Great job on the stealth crawl. The bull looked like he was going to charge. Good job on the rescue!

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

Thank you so much for rescue, Naude ❤💯🦭. The line was nasty looking. There seemed to been 2 newborns, so cute ❤❤.

[@thepaperboy9009]

Feisty pup. 😜 . Those two little fresh newborns are so cute! 😍❤ Great job!

[@patbowers4180]

Wow! The numbers have jumped!! So sorry! Thank you OCN!!💓

[@CrossStCroix]

Sneaky Naude! We have Denzil the Streak, and now Naude the Sneak. Great job!

[@judwithaneye]

I think it's about time for another baby cuteness video, Naude!

[@kareyreuben3869]

That was an interesting viewpoint to see the youngsters without them all running away. Glad you were able to save the one.

[@edytam7059]

Don't be so angry, Naude is helping you. Good job Naude ❤

[@ColinnClarke1303]

Well done, another seal given a chance to live

[@fannycraddock99]

Cute baby overload! Pup was rather feisty but Naude was fit for him. Thanks.

[@bkm2797]

Took a lot of courage when that bull came at you, my goodness! Thank you for your bravery and determination to save the innocent.🦭💕👍

[@paulwyleciol3459]

❤❤❤❤❤THANK YOU !!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@marigeobrien]

The little babies are SO, SO cute! I don't blame the adult seals for being protective. I would be, too, if they were my baby. Thank you for being so careful around them not to mention risking so much-- that bull meant business.

[@thulekovish8188]

Good job! Thank you, Naude.

[@Mcat7101]

That must have been a difficult decision to make - and i bet your poor knees suffered. Thank you for always doing your best to help the seals without putting others at risk. ❤

[@olgapyat]

🤗 Crawling for a long time is a feat!😊

[@LiamWakefield]

Now imagine that at the docks 😅

[@Mcat7101]

​@@olgapyatHi😊. So tiring

[@Mcat7101]

​@@LiamWakefieldHi😊 Oh no😢

[@nariu7times328]

Wow, having the male come after you was scary! Thank you for your incredible work.

[@just-a-crayon4]

Great save! Lots of patience! ❤

[@louiseolivo-kier6632]

That was a very dangerous one! I'm so glad the bull didn't come any closer to you, Naude.

[@MarionFeltham]

Feisty little chap, and that bull looked rather large and close! Total respect, as always, OCN for all you do to help these beautiful innocent creatures.

[@luciebrisson5881]

This rescue was stressful, the presence of very young pups, the massive bull, the need for stealth and silence. Whew! You handled it masterfully Naude and saved the young seal's life. Thank you!!

[@hansrasmussen5239]

Over several years, watching your videos, I am still amazed at how you can spot the entangled seals at such a distance.

[@sarahbarton4977]

Oh the sound that baby pup was doing was so cute.

[@DavidPerez-zs8im]

NYC one ❤️ O'course. Thank you so much

[@janeencalaway1862]

Please share and donate if you can. Naude and his family have dedicated their lives to rescuing Cape Fur seals and all wildlife that reaches Namibia and South Africa's coastal area.

[@pcbacklash_3261]

Wow! Of all the rescue videos I've seen on this channel (probably hundreds by now), I NEVER knew you could get this close by crawling! You were literally within arm's reach of some of the pups! I realize it's the running toward them that drives most seals into the water instinctually (even though many of them have probably grown used to you or even know you're there to help), but I never imagined a low profile could be so effective in the opposite way. Another great rescue. Hope the little guy didn't bite you.

[@nixda1395]

Thank you all so very much for your effort ❤

[@Kuklapolitan]

Naude, you and the crew have the patience of saints and that is needed at times like that. That bull who ran over to check out what was going on kind of alarmed me but he put on the brakes which allowed you to capture the entangled seal. Great job!

[@lindag4484]

Wow! That little one turned and snapped. If he/she only knew that you are there to save them, not to hurt them. Great effort - crawling to get to that seal in peril.

[@mikegrand4181]

This is the only channel that I watch all the ads until the end so that OCN gets paid!

[@brianofphobos8862]

Same here!

[@ichselbst880]

And one more 😊​@@brianofphobos8862

[@garys7476]

Thanks for the remainder 😊

[@amandamariemuise]

Thanks for this info, I usually skip out after I’ve read the scientific info at the end. I’ll keep going now.

[@msmuffet1]

Great job of saving the baby. ❤❤❤

[@suerobinson844]

Great effort and result ❤ from Australia

[@LouisaBlair-d4q]

I bet that was Mama giving the warning! Well done, Naude, exactly as planned.

[@MerryKeli]

It must be quite different being flat with the seals and them being relatively chill around you in comparison to the usual stampede. The little ones look very adorable.

[@Dave_Cymru]

That close quarters crawling, was possible because the seals recognised and started telling the other seals, do not run it is only those guys from KZbin. Show your best side ladies. 😂 Great job once again boys.

[@stephanieb7311]

Hehehe! Great comment.

[@Dave_Cymru]

@@stephanieb7311 Thanks Stephanie! Dave

[@rogerw3818]

That little guy had some serious fight in him. The bull looks WAY different when you're at his level and he's moving with serious purpose.

[@Nina-vc8mo]

Ох які велетні сидять ках ках ках гордовиті допомога прийшла вчасно дякую❤

[@ld9044]

❤❤❤ for the team

[@EllenSchneider-tn1pu]

Whoa, being flat on your belly is definitely not an optimal position to be in when the resident bull comes to check you out 😳!

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Unless you’re another interloper bull! ;)

[@raymondrak961]

The seals were probably wondering why a human with a net was crawling among them. Not the normal rescue method.

[@swansong5263]

How on earth did you spot that? Amazing, that little one doesn’t realise How much better his day will be now!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

We scan the different groups of Cape fur seals with binoculars from far away, looking for imperfections in their fur. This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.

[@ninamarie8654]

Good job Naude!! 👏🏻

[@SapphireSpire]

Mighty feisty bitty. He'll be fine.

[@СветланаБлюм-н4тзз]

Спасибо за спасение котиков

[@renatefeller5208]

Danke 💖

[@angelitabecerra]

The pup-eyed view of the newborn pups was sooooooo cute 🥺 Your dedication and knowledge knows no bounds. Thank you so much Naude and OCN 💖

[@patriciawilson1836]

I love it when they're feisty 😂.

[@Carol-wb9nd]

That big bull scared me and I was not even there, well done, those little babies looked so cute.

[@garygriffin5870]

good catch well done

[@finscreenname]

Great work as always folks!! 👍👍

[@elaborowiec3976]

Bardzo emocjonujący ratunek....i sukces!!! Doświadczenie robi swoje.....dziękuję i pozdrawiam👋❤🇵🇱👍🍀

[@CDFCaptain93]

That was one feisty little seal!

[@MeZpatriot5O]

This was what I was thinking about the approach: "Shhhhh, I'm a little pup just like you! Don't mind me!"

[@ElsieDreamWorld]

You go crawling and they think : what kind of seal is this? But don’t run and just observe. But if you stand! All h… breaks loose 😂 Very cute those pups. Thanks Naude and OCN

[@trishgilbert6342]

So young and already entangled😢 so glad you saved him Naude! 🦭👏✂️🌟😻

[@wendyh3891]

How you saw that is amazing! I couldn’t see it until you cut. Thank you Naude 🇿🇦💜❤️💚🩵

[@aperson900]

Interesting to hear the alarm sounds on this stealth rescue. `That big guy meant business!

[@olgapyat]

Hello everyone! Only Naude can sneak up on seals like that! If it weren't for the curious little one who started asking his mom, "Who's that crawling next to me?", then the mom wouldn't have rushed to attack, and everyone would have continued to sleep peacefully. But Naud quickly took the seal that needed saving, and the group calmed down. Thank you, team! Today is December 13, 2024. This wonderful channel has 2.14 million subscribers. (Yay! +10,000.)

Yeah, snitching pup. 😂

[@olgapyat]

@@LiamWakefield ,🤣

[@dannesys]

I'm amazed that you could get SO close without spooking them! Even pushing that baby out of the way. Great work🎉

[@magda7224]

Thank you.🙏🙏🙏

[@nicklager1666]

Amazing that you could get that close without spooking them. But that is experience for you. Its not Naudes first rodeo.

[@theheartland1861]

they decided to make a dash to the water, now it's time to move, and catch that seal. good thing you caught the seal, because it looked as though, the line was under the skin already causing serious problems. thank you for that great rescue, and now the seal can begin to heal👍👍

[@Rebar77_real]

Let's call that one "Bitey".

[@steven.h0629]

❤Team OCN 👍😎✊

[@Hpy2BNana]

Awww! I miss seeing the little puppies. They're so cute! Great job!

[@tullochmacdonald4245]

Fantastic work rescuing that seal. The patience and restraint you used just to help the one seal is inspiring. Excellent job as usual. God bless you, your crew, and the work that you do. Have a wonderful Christmas.

[@nowhereman7398]

That little seal was a little feisty.

[@haggielady]

Thanks Naude. He would have died had you waited. I know you don't want to go in now but they didn't spook as much as I thought they would.

[@shermarkle]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rajeshtambe2157]

👍👍👍

[@Prelooker]

That bull was like "hey, leave my girls alone or else!"

[@birds_eye_view]

Amazing how close you can get right between them without spooking them. And that „boss“ looked intimidating for sure. Great safe 👍

[@sharvey6146]

Good tactic removing the seal away from the pups trying for minimal disturbance

[@ShermanConlin]

Is that an anger noise it was making or warning to others. The bull just didn't stop

[@oazis65]

Wow !
