Seal Squirms Out Of Rescuer's Grip

It ends well for both: the seal and the rescuer. The seal is strong and healthy and will have no visible marks from his entanglement. The rescuers found him on time.
The seal shows his strength and will to survive by manoeuvering himself from the rescuer's grip. He even aims for a little love bite. Luckily for Antoine, he misses him, and the rescuer can call for backup from his team.
No matter how severe or light the entanglement is or how weak or strong the seal appears, every rescue is risky, and everybody needs to be on high alert for all eventualities. 🦭

Watching the last pup's release was almost heartbreaking ... the wound was horrible, but the baby was so sweet the way he seemed to pause, like he wanted to make sure it was okay if he left. Thank you for doing what you do SO well ... 3 more precious lives saved. The OCN team -- absolute HEROES!

What was the seal trying to say at 1:41?

Glad to see them so strong, healthy and feisty even with the entanglements. Happy to know that they're now free and will have a better chance of being strong, healthy, feisty adults.

The last little one knew exactly what the team was doing, helping. The look in its eyes and the way it allowed Wally's warm breath to calm it. Ya, it knew.

I know their growls and grunts are supposed to warn and scare you but they're sooooo fracking adorable. 🥰 Thanks for protecting them!!

Create a diversion (sand in the eye), then make a break for it...Sorry, little pup, it's much better for you to stick around until the rope is removed. Thanks for spotting him in time!🙏

He stopped to say thank you He wasn't in any rush after You helped him 💝

[@luciebrisson5881]

I thought the third pup's wound was bad until you showed his left side and I saw it was really, really bad. Poor seal. I agree totally with Naude's description of gillnet. Stupid, horrible, useless, illegal stuff. Thank you for saving all three seals, giving them a chance at a long, healthy, pain-free life.

That was amazing you were able to re-catch the one escaping, I'm so glad you guys spotted all of them and helped them, especially that last one, that looked so bad, poor little fella.

[@daminox]

No one ever comments about how beautiful a country Namibia is! Am I the only one who loves huge, wide open, unpopulated spaces along the sea shore? And some of your videos have shown gorgeous sunsets over the ocean and it's so picturesque!

[@eileenentler8993]

And sunrises ... sometimes it's just beginning to get light, the sky and clouds are breathtaking (seems to go on forever), it's freezing because the sun's not out yet and they've already made a couple of runs. EVERY member of the OCN TEAM has a warrior's heart. They're AMAZING!

[@AryonaSamoto]

Aww that last pupper must have been in so much pain😢 He must have really understood what you were doing to be so calm and even relaxed when you let him go🤗 Thank you all so much🙏❤ I kinda giggled at the seal slip, his growl while crawling away was kinda taunting😆

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

You all risk getting injured at every rescue you do, but that never holds you back, that's true dedication❤️! Tony clearly had no intention of letting pup#2 escape, even though it put up quite a fight and surely would have bitten him if it had had the chance. You're heroes!❤️😘

Great job again OCN! That one was trying so hard to get away, but after his saving, he slowly went back in to the ocean, and definitely felt much better. The gill net pup was in alot of pain and almost got the chance to turn around to say thank you. Have a great Easter if you celebrate it! 🙏❤

[@vinkuu]

Could you do a short video about why gill nets are illegal in many countries? I tried googling, but all I found was how awesome they are for catching fish.

[@steven.h0629]

The basic premise is the Gil Netting catches everything (and kill it) instead of targeted species.

[@battles146]

OCN has a Jan 31, 2022 7 minute video as to why gill nets do so much damage and why they're illegal - also google 'what countries ban use of gill nets' for more information

[@tonychorley4936]

I liked hearing you actually express your irritation /anger at the harm the illegal gill net had done to poor pup 1. It hurts just to see the way it cuts them like a cheese wire, the pain they feel must be terrible, thank goodness you give them a second chance.
