Seal Bull Refuses To Be Rescued

This particular seal made it very clear from the beginning that he was not going to make it easy for us, and it took us a few attempts to finally get him into the rescue net. Luckily with our experience in such situations, we eventually managed to secure him properly in the net and after a few cuts, he was free to go back to the ocean.

''It's just a question of him making the effort now.'' and as if on cue, the bull exploded out of the net. He was magnificent and he tired out the rescuers with his might. Thank you OCN for the rescue of this 'beautiful beast'.

[@elaborowiec3976]

Piękny😁Sam do Was przyszedł a jednak walczył zawzięcie!!!! Dziękujemy,ze jesteście❤🇵🇱👍👋

[@RL-RL]

The bigger they are, the harder they fight. Looks like a successful save, and the team did a great job handling and saving this big boy!

[@nicklager1666]

Well no one said that all patients would be helpful. But us fans will be with thumbs ups and donations.

[@geewill]

Agreed!! ❤❤❤ OCN!

[@bethbranson9050]

That bull was a picture of power and determination! Beautiful creature! Great rescue, team!!!

[@EllenSchneider-tn1pu]

That Monday morning Bull was a beast! No fear in that boy as he ran TOWARDS Denzil. Love to see those feisty ones as long as no one gets hurt. Well done gentlemen!🦭🌊💙

[@hendriklurse6518]

Thank you my heroes for saving him ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼 and wishing you all a nice weekend 😊

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

Thank you for the nice wish. :-)

[@kareyreuben3869]

A solid slab of uncooperative muscle that weighs more than you do. Good thing you are persistent and compassionate. Nice job, dear friends.

[@posnrg2u327]

That Monday Morning Bull was not taking his capture efforts lightly. His attitude was ‘you’re going to have to work to get me guys’. But 4 to 1 out numbered his efforts, thankfully. A successful rescue ensured his survival. Thank you team OCN ❤❤❤

[@DavidPerez-zs8im]

Thank you all so much. .you are AMAZING. Huge bull is right! . NYC one ❤ you my Gs

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.

[@juliesong4123]

He totally relaxed once that line was cut! Great day!!!

[@bkm2797]

Wow that was an amazing effort to catch that young bull, too bad he didn't understand you were there to help. Thank you!👍❤️🙏🏻

[@vivaldi1948]

Wow! When he popped out of that net...just hoping everyone was giving him t he space he needed.

[@Mcat7101]

He wasn't going down without a fight, was he?😮 Well done, Denzil, for staying put when he headed in your direction - it must take some courage with an angry strong bull that size - and to you all for capturing and rescuing him. He will now stay a strong and beautiful bull and make you proud. Thank you😊

[@carolleighton4579]

What a handsome fellow, still strong, so the trash hasn't done any damage, great rescue. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@lindac6032]

Tony: It’s just a question of him making the effort now! Seal: You want to see effort?! [Throws off the net and stalks off!] 😁

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

😁

[@lindac6032]

Monday morning seal bull! That's a great way to start the week! Thanks, team!👏

[@brightlm25]

Good morning thank you so much. Coffee time with the seals. 💖☕🍩🌅

[@haggielady]

Tea with the seals and the three best men on earth.

[@olgapyat]

Hi all! Wow, what a bull seal is a fighter! In this way, he did not want to give up, so that someone from the herd would not see his “shame,” but the herd left, Tony came to the rescue and everything worked out. The beautiful seal will live!

Feisty, big and strong bull. Fortunately the first was untangled ❤. Thank you, OCN Team, for saving the beautiful monday bull 👏❤❤❤. Stay safe 🧡💛🧡.

[@thulekovish8188]

The young bull bites the net and resists but the men never back down. Freeing them from their entanglements is saving their lives. Thank you, team OCN. Your subscribers are close to 2M, it'll get there soon. Your work needs to be seen and supported by as many as possible.

[@KeePenne]

OCN will get you, my pretty boy, time and time, again. ❤ His defense systems came with lessons with the first go around. Then, the rescuers learn from him. Experience matters, and wisdom becomes a reciprocal occurrence. Who needs youth? Lol...

[@pattic.2975]

That bull was a magnificent and strong specimen. He would've gotten the best of just one rescuer. Fishing line can easily take down that huge bull. Thanks OCN!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@user-sx3ji7ne8n]

Think at the beginning he didn’t realised you were saving his life instead of ending it! Good job done👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

This monday bull wasn't planning to give up that easily, but neither were you! He must feel so much better, now that tight snoek line is gone. Thanks guys, for daring to rescue such a big and strong seal!💪💕🦭

[@C.Hawkshaw]

He’s so embarrassed to be caught, in front of his mates. But you got him and saved his life!

[@sr.fabiolaherzog6020]

He is crying "Toni" and the ❤🦭seal is running into the net. Maybe the name of the❤🦭 seal is also Toni. Thank 👍you! God 🙏bless you🙏🙏🙏

[@kayt3900]

Thanks to OCN, on camera, & off! "Beautiful bull"! Beautiful rescues! ❤🤗🙏

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

🙂👍

[@patriciawilson1836]

FEISTY...Apparently he didn't get the memo that these guys are here to help..😂 Blessings to you all for persevering.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Was just thinking, that one manmade little plastic line is all it takes to defeat millions of years of evolution. Thanks for freeing that beautiful specimen. :)

[@paddyjenkins8458]

My heroes that was a real fight, but the best man one. Thank you OCN heroes

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

[@billoberg3272]

"Beautiful Beast" with a lot of FIGHT for the team. Good way to start the day 😃

[@stephanieb7311]

Wow i bet that took slot of energy. He is a strong guy. Thankyou OCN.

[@Nina-vc8mo]

Який сильний тюлень прийшлось поборотися хто кого переможе вам як завжди удалось побороти цього красеня дякую ❤

[@steven.h0629]

❤Team OCN! Mr Bull ran off to tell tales of his masterful escape 👍😎✊

[@Kokeil39]

Das war ja wirkliche eine verdammt schwere Rettungsaktion, immer wieder alle Achtung vor euren Mut und eurer Geschicklichkeit. Ein wüsste ich gerne, ob denn die Kleinen bei der Flucht ihre Mutter wieder finden. OCN - Team, vielleicht findet ihr die Zeit mir diese Frage zu beantworten. L.G.

[@fannycraddock99]

Well he really didn't want to go into the net but in the end he did. Beautiful seal. Thanks guys.

[@EllaSilentDragon]

If they could only fight like that against plastic ropes. 😅 These videos always look like a mix between a game of Where‘s Waldo?, a race and a hunt, but with the animal saved at the end! You guys are awesome! ❤

[@threadripper979]

Humans:1, Bull Seal:0 But the winner is still the seal. Nice save.

[@KPWHU]

Denzil did a great job spotting and safely containing that naughty seal until reinforcements arrived!

[@Yanquetino]

Quite the fighter! Wanted to have the net for lunch!

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

He was ready to "take you on", he fought and dodged then once in the net he gave up. He's lucky this is the first time, thank God. You guys are fearless, I think he got the message.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

😁👍

[@WilliamHunterII]

You boys are very brave to tackle such a beast. Good work, gang.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.

[@marybrown1539]

I'm unsure of which bit I prefer in this video normally it's the cutting of the tag...this time was it the bleep,the sound of all the effort it took or the stand off."You can't catch me without help"😂❤ Thank you.x

[@renatefeller5208]

Danke 💖

[@suek.5057]

Well done, OCN! He did not make that easy. ❤

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

[@marieke3032]

That was a bull and then some 😮 He really made you work for him 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙

[@davidmarchand384]

That was more than a fight 👍🏻No wonder why you all seem so exhausted after the rescue 👏🏻 This young bull seems to be so strong that he might be dominant sooner rather than later, giving you therefore more hard times with the next gen of puppies 😅😱

[@annaylitalo6564]

Teillä on aina niin kaunis ilma ja näyttää lämpimältä. Rannalla on enemmän hylkeitä kuin meillä koko maassa. Olette taitavia pelastajia. 👍❤️

Wow, that was a BIG bull, thank you for not giving up on him, Team OCN. These rescues are very dangerous but they still need help to rid themselves of our discards.

[@lynngreene1993]

WOW. Gave our Denzil a real fight & still he lost. Antoine has the dock bulls to thank for the relatively easy net! But considering his size, he was pretty calm for the operation. Thanks guys 👊👊👊

[@grannybee]

That net is no match for Big Guy. 😂 Great to see him rescued.

[@finscreenname]

Great work as always folks!! 👍👍

@sandraguidemann8924. I agree, it is very sad 😢. However, it is pleasure to see a rescued seal running free into the sea. Rescuers do the hard work.

[@sarahbarton4977]

He might have been caught as a younger one and remembered your nets

Thank you. 🦭

[@sba8710]

Thank you. This seal fights for his life against you which shows he wants to live.

[@markthompson9914]

So approximately 875,000 miles of commercial line a month. When u calculate it and come up with that figure, it sound unreal. ✌️🇬🇧

[@aroundtheworldfibers]

Stubborn bull - he'll probably never know you saved his life, but we all do. Thanks OCN.

ok humans, if you want me, you're going to have to try alot harder to catch me and take care of me. great rescue with that big boy👍👍

This was a difficult rescue. He didn’t want to cooperate at all. But we have faith in Team OCN, who always manage to capture their targets! Great collective effort , guys. 🦭😇👍

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Our efforts are just a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of tonnes of trash entering the world's oceans every year. We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

[@zaz4667]

That seal is a wild one!

[@msmuffet1]

That seal was "Drama Guy" biting the net and that exit was high drama! Good save. ❤❤❤

[@Lesloi6227]

Magnificent beast.

[@CrowPal]

I liked that after the first few struggles, the bull just stood his ground, defiantly, as if to say, "is that all you got? go on, try again, see what happens!" I shouldn't laugh, but it was funny. 😆 Seriously, "the amount of commercial fishing line abandoned, lost or discarded at sea *every month* is *3.5 times* longer than the distance separating us from the moon." That is a staggering statistic.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

It is, and we do hope people actually make the changes needed 😉

[@ponwajeechrans7372]

He is very stubborn, but great full. 😂😂😂
