SHARK stuck in Seal's Neck!
The mystery is finally solved! Over the last few weeks, Naude and Denzil have rescues 2 seals with what they thought were stingray spikes sticking out of their necks. A little while ago they came across this guy on the beach, and they finally had an answer.
This young male cape fur seal had a complete young St. Joseph Shark hanging from his neck! The St. Joseph shark is a member of the chimera family, and is very similar the the ratfish found in the United States. The shark has a large poisonous barb extending through its dorsal fin, and it is this thats getting stuck in the seals.
The fur seals don't usually hunt this species, but because of the big die-off of seals we had due to starvation, the seals are getting desperate and targeting fish they would not usually for. While trying to break up the sharks into bite size chunks on the surface, they are getting "spiked", and because of the one-way bards on those spikes, they often break off and stay there.
As soon as this seal was freed to proceeded to catch a much bigger seal in their net. This seal was stuck in thick commercial fishing line, but luckily was freed by the rescuers. 🦭

I love some of the flabbergasted looks of relief and surprise the seals give when you let them go. They're so use to possibly "when we get caught, we're dead by any animal" that one actually catches them, helps them, AND lets them go. They're stunned like "W-wait, why do i feel better? W-why did you let me go? Huh, t-this...this is new." So wholesome.

I don't think that's accurate. I think animals know that humans really are supposed to help them but they know that humans have betrayed them and thus they are surprised to find humans doing what they should be doing. That's why animals who have never encountered humans come to them willingly and without fear because we are distinctly different from them and meant to be care takers of this world.
@@CandiceGoddard its obvious you have never been to the wild, animals arent disney characters

@@EdgarStyles1234 right ?!
Sometimes fishermen can't do so. Lines can be cut by all sorts of shit on the sea floor, and they wouldn't know until they started reeling in on some occasions. Other times it gets snagged on debris and snapped off, the line going away before they have a chance to react.
@@EdgarStyles1234 not only china, to everyone
As someone who fishes this ain’t always the case , unless I catch the fish if my line snaps , or it gets tangled around the fish I can’t reel it in and cut the line off, at an old lake of mine that I used to fish at there is a alligator snapping turtle with 4 hooks in its mouth , a couple tangled lines , and about a loaf of bread in its belly. (I though he was cool so every time I interact with it I give him some bread
OMG! I hurt so much from a small paper cut. I can only imagine the agonizing pain these animals are feeling. These guys are heros to dedicate their lives to help these animals.
Grow tf up
You guys must have phenomenal legs to be running across the sand. Thank you for what you do to our animal friends and for them
The seals are probably hungry because humans are out saving too many seals which makes it more difficult for the larger population to feed itself.
Wet sand is easier to run on
Ahh yes, those pesky humans saving sharks are the problem... Not the mass of fishing ships scooping up tonnes of fish at a time and being resourceful... nah those horrible humans saving seals from human waste. What an idiot. @@interestedparty00
The scales of the two parts are completely different, this is not the reason. @@interestedparty00
What you're saying makes sense in concept, but that's not the reality of it. If anything, accidental human intervention with all the pollution in our waters cuts seal numbers down. A perfect example is in this video with the fishing line. That seal wouldn't have been in danger in the first place if it didn't get that fishing line wrapped around it. Humans saving seals isn't causing the lack of food for them. It's both natural causes and human's polluting and destroying their feeding grounds. @@interestedparty00

@noobenstein lmao when did all fish belong to seals?
@noobenstein i truly cannot believe all the idiotic replies to your factual statement
@@gordonlin6120 When did all resources belong to humans? He's very right. Yes, a lot of legal fisheries ensure conservation is met, hence why many fish, even Tuna, are farmed instead. But there are many illegal fishing ships that damage the ecosystem. The whole point of balance is give and take. We have enough agriculture to feed the populace, yet people still go out fishing illegally. Food isn't the issue, though. Money is.

I wish more people would watch these videos so they can be conscience about leaving fishing lines and nets on beaches and in water. Thank you guys for helping these sweet creatures. ♥️
I might be wrong but I think it’s a money/convenience thing, it’s easier and cheaper to cut and dump them than it is to recover and repair them, so they just cut them, it’s very common worldwide and it’s a major source of plastic in the ocean… not to mention tangling up everything
So true
Most fishermen try to recover their tackle and only cut / break the line as a last resort. We pay good money for weights, swivels, hooks, and other tackle and don’t like losing it. Sometimes you can catch a fish and it will tangle you up in something on the bottom. You can’t get it free and end up breaking the line. If the fish is still on the other end this is sometimes how the seal ends up getting tangled. It goes after the fish. Not only did we lose money in our gear, but we lost our dinner too. Every time someone sees an animal in distress like this they automatically think and blame the fishermen. It’s rarely the fishermen’s fault. I’m not saying that there aren’t cases where some idiot tosses line in the water. But most of the time it can’t be helped.
The work that you guys do is nothing short of selfless and is a wonderful thing to see. Keep up fighting the good fight!

I love how the first one was aggressive but when you pulled out the spike it was like "oh these are good guys"
Did they remove the spike or just cut it off? It looked to me lie they left a piece of the spike embedded in the seal's neck. Also, they didn't clean and disinfect the wounds on any of the seals.

@@Antiteshmis They can obviously be categorised as most understanding to the least - Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Insects. Instinct just purely takes over instead of some memory or familiarity of friend or foe, down the order. But then food for thought- in India, during parched summers we have seen huge king cobras coming to humans for water year after year. Maybe some memory better in certain reptiles than others
@@rey1sri60 Exactly, it makes one wonder, is it memory, is it familiarity, is it trust etc etc ...
@@Antiteshmis Familiarity and trust or even love, especially if sight/smell/manner imprinted from childhood for mammals - those lovey dovey videos of mammals remembering their benefactors even after decades attest to that.

Animal rescuers are a God send. Thank you guys.
There are no words to express thank you🌈🙏❤️ I wish there was a vet on hand to take care of the really damaged area. Or at least a antibiotic spray. God bless you all for your love amd kindness 🥰
We have been advised by leading pinniped specialists that, unless we are able to keep the animal in a sanctuary for rehabilitation, we should avoid applying medicines on their wounds. The Cape fur seal goes straight to the water as soon as we release them, washing off any topical cream. Water resistant sprays may lock in bacteria and aggravate their injuries. We do not want to introduce drugs in a population of wild animals. We see healthy recaptures every single day, proof that sea water acts as a very efficient wound cleaner and healer, and that Cape fur seals are extremely resilient animals.
Whenever I see a seal look back at a rescuer, I feel like it’s saying “thanks for the help......I guess..”

He was obviously confused trying to figure out if he was in danger. I don't know if they are fully aware that they are being helped once the objects are removed. They must feel a relief afterwards and do they associate this relief with the benevolence of the human intervention ?
Seeing the immediate relief of these beautiful creatures after your incredible kindness is a joy to see❤
This breaks my heart! Thank you sooooo much for your love and constant care and action to keep these animals alive and well🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awh, poor little guy with the shark in his neck looked back at them when they let him go like "thank you :0"
Young animals usually have to be taught for a while to be scared of humans. You can see how deeply ingrained it is into the bigger, older seal. The first one probably didn't see humans as as big of a threat, and when they made the pain stop, that totally fucked its perception of reality. I can't even imagine what was going through its brain after that, but going off its body language, it didn't seem scared.
ikr? He wanted to hang out for a while! :)
He was kinda like "WTF? You ain't gonna eat me AND you made the bad hurt thing go away???????
124 likes nice
2:30: the “wtf thank you” look 😂
Looks like he wants to be adopted 💖
LOL HE WAS like heee thanks i guess
He’s like... ‘scuse me but that was MY supper
I HAVE MY RED DAYZ RN AND I LAUGH SO HARD READING UR COMMENT
He was still on the beach waiting lmao
What an amazing job you have! If only I could wind the clock back 30 years 😊 Thank you for helping these cute little guys ❤
My heart breaks for these seals! We are sentencing them to horrific deaths by our carelessness. I am SO grateful that these people are helping them. We should be obligated to fix the harm that we have caused to our environment and the animals victims we have created! Because of your videos, I an much more cautious of how I dispose of plastic bags, etc. Thank you for educating me to the horrors that I, too, may have caused!
These heroes are not only fixing the mistakes of our race, but saving seals from painful experience and death.
I read “these hoes” 😭
Fixing a mistake is not exactly being a hero.
I agree with the second part, but not with the first part, since a seal getting bitten by a shark isn’t really one of the mistakes of our race. However, this would of been accurate if this comment was on another one of the videos on this channel, since most of them were mistakes of our race.
For the record, humans are not a "race". We are a species. Specifically, a genus and species: Home Sapien...
@@taristazin2073 yeah, I know, I only called humans a race because I was partially quoting the original comment
It's just amazing how the young seal changed behavior after you took the shark barb out of it's neck. It realized you helped him and instantly ceased to be aggressive! That's amazing! //edit: What have I started? Guys, this wasn't even an all too serious comment. It seems I've involuntarily started a crusade.
It realised the people were there to help it.
It was in shock..but ok
@@user-zm9yc2kb8x Not likely.
Anthropomorphize with a grain of salt
@@epck well, a few grains, actually. Kinda disney, to be honest.
How do guys like you happen? What a blessing!
@Lind Morn All people can do good things. No excuses no to.
@Lind Morn luckily.
Wonderful job guys, world needs more people like yourselves.
I thought we shouldn’t interfere in nature?
Well lets hope no one stabs you and leaves you sort it out alone. Jesus get a grip
Denzel is so careful and gentle when he cuts lines. Another mission well accomplished. Thank you
I was thinking the same thing😊
He really is. I'll bet he's gentle as a person, too.
Shark smells blood seals gets eaten as soon as it ran in the water.
The first seal was like 'oh you could've at least told me that's all you wanted to do' 🦭
Facts 😂😂😭
Love watching all the rescues. You do a great job🏴
Vielen Dank für Eure wichtige Arbeit!
The story they will tell: Humans tried to kill us, but were more interested in these barbs. The barbs saved our life.
"We must get more!"
@@Khewlaidman task failed successfully
They won’t tell stories bc it’s a seal
@@MahoneyP573 you're just thirsting for an r/whoosh
@@AntonioMontana_7.5 im gonna whoosh him
I feel like that first seal you helped actually realized you just made him feel 100% better. Lol
"I'm gonna bite- ....wait. Did you mean to do that?? ...Thankyou. I'm gonna run away now."
@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger didn’t even run...
@@islandgirl7304 18 idiots thought the animal did
@@islandgirl7304 We can surmise it did after
Look at her eyes at the exact moment he pulls it out! They go wide and she definitely understood immediately.
So nice to see people helping these animals that are hurt ..Thank you 🙏
Yooo!!!! Great job guys!!!!!! You guys do amazing work! You got one more subscriber in me, and I will definitely be thumbs uping your videos because you guys are TRUE animal lovers just like me. God Bless your whole team. Thanks guys!!!!!
2:31 that face tho lol. Imagine being tackled by a giant, held down and having a splinter pulled out. I'd probably have the same look
Much confusion lol
Prob felt relived lol
It’s like he didn’t want them to leave.
2:28 It looked like the little guy realised what you's did for him. You guys are great human beings
Haha he looks so appreciating and just genuinely confused too
Lmao hes like UhHhHhhhHhh
@@I.Am.Shadow4o0 yeah so what now huh hahaha
Right
Yes.. Oh.. that pain is gone.. Did you do that?
I have watched many of these videos, and really appreciate what you do to help these Seals. Thank you and God bless you.❤
Thank you so much for showing the people the work you do is so important that you are out there helping these seals thank you very much
I love how that seal was like, "I'm wounded but I'll fight you 'til the end," then after getting pinned and the shark removed, when let got reacts by almost going, "Wait... did you guy's help me?"
