Baby Seal TRAPPED IN GHOSTNET Entanglement
Antoine and Naude from Ocean Conservation Namibia catch and release a young male Cape Fur Seal pup that was bound up in a Ghost fishing net. They spotted him from a distance. It was unclear what the pup was stuck in, they ran towards the seal along the beach and Naude managed to catch the very immobile seal by hand. Antoine immediately got to work on cutting through many coils of thick blue nylon rope, followed by just as many strands of thinner line. The seal pup was stuck in a huge piece of illegal gill-net, which still had its floats on. Floating on the surface, this net would have looked like a fun toy for the poor pup and lured him closer to play with it. After getting caught up in it, he would have no other option than to come to the beach, slowly starving and choking to death and he would not be able to swim or hunt with this burden around him.
As soon as he was cut free he ran off with renewed energy to join his friends waiting for him in the water. 🦭

Who else had this show up on their recommended and have been binge watching all their rescues?
Yep I'm deep in now, can't stop lol
Yep
🙋🏻♀️
that would be me
Yes, me too...I just went to their website and sent them a few bucks through a GoGetFunding link. Happy to give a bit of support just to let them know I appreciate them.
How can you dislike this? These men are helping animals injured by all our plastic waste, we should be thanking them.
Ikrrr
It’s probably just Karen’s and actual fishing company’s who don’t like being seen as evil
Or animal poachers
the dislikes must be from ppl who really really hate baby seals 😢
Maybe they dislike the plastic waste hurting the seal.
I wonder sometimes if the seals know on some level that they’re being helped? Keep up the great work guys! Your efforts and commitment are beyond beyond!
I've seen videos where the seals have apparently relaxed when the bonds start getting released, which could suggest they understand they are getting help, in some cases at least, but mostly I think the animals are already very stressed when tangled up. I'm sure it's just panic for them when captured, until they are free and back with the pod.
Yes, but They are weary because They Are Aware that Humans are the Most dangerous Being in this World. Humans hurt Many, even Each other. Peace❤
@@Love-os9seoh shut up
Baie dankie vir omgee mense soos julle Ongelukkig is daar te veel mense wat niks omgee nie. Nogmaals dankie vir die wat omgee .
That was a lot of netting,so thankful I am sure the pup is that you were able to save him. Though he was a little impatient, one could sense he knew he would be free... I can't tell you how much happiness you bring for all your hard and determined work...Love and respect to the OCN Team...heros in my ❤

Господи, какой ужас! Как жалко этих беззащитных животных. Ребята, спасибо, что их спасаете
People say they “bark”, yet they sound exactly like sheep bleating.
None of them were barking. They have different sounds and barking is one of them. Just because you don't hear it doesn't mean they don't.
🐑 beehhh
Goats... I hear goats. It amuses me greatly
California sea lions bark. These guys definitely bleat like sheep.
Stupid
That puppy stayed relatively calm. His eyes seemed to show a realization that you were helping him & taking off that mess that was hurting him. Thanks Naude & Tony for caring & doing something about it❣
Какой ужвс,что делает человек в среде,ему не принадлежащим. Спасибо ,что спасли жизнь этому милому зверю
Лучшие парни человечества.Так самоотверженно спасают это герой.🇰🇿👍
"Thank you for your patience," the exhausted hero rescuer says to the grateful, newly freed pup. Bless you, gentlemen. Job well done! 🕊
Thank you very much!
This poor thing. This is why every time i go to beach i bring a bag to collect any trash i see. Just look at these poor animals. Thank god they have a team like this to help them. Bless u
thats a great idea
Your a good person aswel.
We do too. We've even had a few minor rescues of our own 🥰
🙏🙏🙏
I have done that in Hawaii and Mykonos. Both place there was a plastic bag floating so I picked it up and filled it with the other plastic floating around. It was gross.
Вы дорогие спасатели .Да воздаст вам Господь за ваше милые сердечка.
Так сердце радуется, что вы помогаете этим милым животным!!! Спасибо вам!!!❤️🌹🌹😇🙏🙏🌍💞💖🌺

Yes, we do love animals. So honest and true. 💚💛🧡

Дорогие друзья там у вас похоже, работы на долго ,столько человек приносит беды ради наживы , спасибо вам огромное и вам всех благ❤❤❤❤
God bless you for every rescued seal!!! Love you guys!!!
amen to that
They did the work not god
Breaks my heart seeing these poor creatures tangled in this garbage, but i'm so glad you are there to help them, True lifesavers!!
I kinda wish a vet could ride with them once on a while. And the ones that are really bad they could give them something to help with the pain and antibiotics help them heal. But that ocean water seams to help a lot.
@@robyngouldin9386 Hi. Yes, I agree. Like the almost "decapitated seal" from a day ago- was so bad... 😢 😖 I think a vet would have been great to have that day...
Thank God salt water heals very well. I had completely chopped off the tip of my finger, through the bone. My doctor placed it where belonged bandaged it then was told I had to keep my hand plastered to my chest for months. It wasn't going so well and my mother took me to Atlantic City and let me go in the pre polluted salt water. That night my finger went from purple green to completely normal. I was able to have a finger with the end still there. It doesn't feel or look normal and its a quarter inch longer than the same finger on my other hand.
White mans shit
@@robyngouldin9386 agreed
This pup would have died without you guys, thank you for all that you do...The pain that humanity inflicts on so many innocent creatures is sometimes too much to bear.
Well said.
They get eaten by sharks regularly, part of the food chain.
@@TruthOverLies Wow, that's deep.... lmao ^^
@@docgonzobordel 😆 Good one!
I agree, I saw a picture of a small turtle whose neck was stuck in the sea !!! Of course it was thrown away to the sea by human !
Малыш лежал смирно, как будто знал, что ему помогают. Спасибо вам хорошие люди👏👏👏👏👏👏
Whatever you said I agree. keep watching them so they receive income for their good deeds.
Как же страдало это несчастное животное....Сам Господь послал вас ему для спасения!!!! Дай вам Бог здоровья,удачи,мира и благополучия! Преклоняюсь перед вами, ребята!
Wow, that pup was tired and weak from dragging that gear around, and probably not eating. Awesome job!
He could not dive for sure so feeding would have been impossible for him.
Ocean Conservation Namibia Good thing you spotted him! Poor baby. Like you said with the floaties on him he couldn’t dive to catch fish. I would love to do this if I had an opportunity. I have interacted with seal pups on my dive trips in the past. Such curious and playful creatures with the biggest expressive eyes. Love them. ❤️ 🌊
@@silverpurkat 🥰🌈🌈
What if it was just weight training
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👏👏👏
Can't imagine that such a small pup survived that long with that weight on it. Incredible! Great job. You can see how energetic he was as soon as you cut the last strand.
He really wanted to go for lunch, that’s for sure!
@@OceanConservationNamibia Yes. Great. He must have told his buddies. 'Look, I am free. They helped me! So happy to swim with you guys again!' 😂. Let's just say that NO seal was harmed during the making of this video!!😂
I'm like you Naude who could just leave that entanglement in the ocean. So horrible! Glad you and Antoine were there. Another GREAT rescue! I appreciate all you do for the seals. Have a great day!
О,Боже!!(( как же они страдают((( бедные , беззащитные и безответные звери! Спасибо,ребята! Я плачу(((
I’m shocked a whole pier wasn’t attached! Holy moly! That’s a lot of debris attached to him! Bless you for saving him! Thank you for the rescue! ❤️
Man I can't even imagine how much relief he must have gotten First the ropes and then thin fishing line.. Good job done
It was actually part of the same net, the structure and then the mesh itself...

That little seal figured out you were helping him...I wish they all could figure it out and make it easier for you! Thank you for the wonderful work you do!
Yeah, but remember that fear is a core basic emotion in almost every creature from the time of birth. Fear is the hardest to overcome. Fear can make someone or something to do things that they normally don't do. Just know that they are already in Fear when they are trapped like that. Such as everyone else, I do get happy if they figure out what's going on.
@@Seeker0628 I agree, that fear was put into them either after Adam and Eve messed things up or after the Great Flood. I want to say it was the flood, because people didn't eat meat until after that.
Anyone think the seals sound like sheeps? Or is it just me? 😳
I was thinking the same. They sound like sheep or goats.
It's sheep in a seal's clothing.
@Eric Cartman pee is also stored in the balls
@@sorellman LOL nice one
More like men at Wetherspoons on a Friday night

Like angels. The way you pounce on them and deliver them from certain death brings tears to my eyes almost every time. May God bless you guys for every day of your lives
The pup remained relatively calm,as if it was aware the people were there to help. These creatures depend on their agility to hunt and evade predators,an impossibility when entangled in such terrible Flotsam & Jetsam. Thank you for all you do
They sou d like sheep bleeting
Or it simply realizes it can't run away and will be only wasting energy, so it's better to wait for an oppurtunity than struggle

The poor baby god knows how long she was pulling all that around . Thank so much guys🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Well, probably not more than a week or two. There is no way it would have been able to hunt with that, and two weeks of not feeding would do its toll.

Wow that was a bad one. Good job guys! We need about 10 million more of you guys all over the world.
Thank you very much but what about having less people throwing their trash in the wild instead?
@@OceanConservationNamibia that would be ideal. However I don't have that much faith in humanity. I live in Florida and have to bring trash bags with me everytime we go to the beaches. People toss everything from cigarette butts to whole pop up tents on the beach. People just don't care. So unfortunately that leaves it to people who do care.
No 10 million, but billion 😉
That was definitely the worst one yet. Good job again guys.
My heart is aching for these poor pups. These gentlemen are my heroes!
Many and many Thanks for your kindness to this Seal in Trubel. Very Beautiful Job you have been done.
Amazing job of rescue...thank you.

Thank you so much for helping these poor seals who would suffer so much you are wonderful people 👍
I love how the background music is just seals screaming or something
Yes, these are warnings!
@@OceanConservationNamibia didn't know that The more you know
Bless them for that....easy in the ears
For me that sounds like help
..................Eheheh...my mind knew that but it went towards the sound mincraft sheeps make
They sound like Billy goats, donkeys, and the town drunk all at once.
They also sound like sheep.
😂😂
"Town Drunk?" This is unheard of. LOL!
I was trying to place their sounds. You described them perfectly. And, I laughed at your “town drunk” description, perfect!
Omg! That was funny.🤣🤣🤣

"Thank you for your patience..." 😂 thank you both for bringing us along on your rescues.

That got me too! “Thank you for your patience...” ♥️😂
I can't imagine who doesn't appreciate this? But takes the time to dislike... So weird. Thank you guys. Awesome work.
It's funny how many people are So blind to see and they can see at the same time.
Could be a fish disliking it
Those who dislike They are crazy 🤪 The equip who this Job they love the nature 🏞 and we appreciate them.
Those who dislike are criminals
Maybe, they dislike the fact these guys need to be there doing it, because of the suffering of the animals.

Man that poor seal pup was seriously loaded up, how he was even able to dive for fish with those floats around him is beyond me. That particular rescue must have been seriously rewarding.

It will never stop being funny to me how Google consistently translates the Kyrillic „seal“ to „cat“. It’s so lovely to see them bumble off into the sea afterwards. =)
Just in Russian, some types of seals are called "sea cats" :) This isn't a translation error
@@0dland That’s cute! English speakers keep calling them sea doggos for their barks, and in German they’re just literally called sea dog (Seehund). But the cat name I can see too, with their long whiskers and affinity for fish. Thanks! =)

I didn't know that seal cubs sounded like lambs, by the sound you would think you were on a sheep farm. I love these videos, thanks so much for the work you do.
Seals must think that greedy hoomans want their stuff back!
Humans threw it there, the least we can do is to take it back, right?

You can see in his eyes at one point the seal knows he is being helped. Thanks to you for your kindness, hard work and massive effort.
