Entangled Seal Seeks Help From 'Bodyguard'
Рет қаралды 26,891
Ай бұрынFortunately, the “seal bodyguard” didn’t do his job very well and Tony could catch the entangled animal with the big net. It was a big seal and Tony waited for Naude’s help to perform the rescue. We have all gained much-needed experience over the years, but dealing with a seal bull on your own is a big risk. Anything can happen, so having extra hands on deck will always be best and safest.

That bodyguard was doing a good job until all the seals realized you were there to help. Then they stood aside and watched their friend begin the first day of the rest of his life. Thanks for saving him, Antoine and Naude!🦭♻️👏

Hi all! This is impressive! Three bodyguards! The largest seal remained next to the rescued one until the last moment, but did not prevent him from falling into Tony’s net. Naude showed up just in time. The double strap can be removed very easily. And at the end the funny thing is that the seal jumped out of the net, perked up a little, and then saw the hose behind which he had been sleeping before he was rescued, and decided that he needed to finish the dream))) Thanks guys!

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.

Sorry to contradict you, but Harbour Seals are smooth skinned and tend to live in the Arctic. The ones in Namibia are Cape Fur Seals.
@amypavlopoulos3110 Ай бұрын
These are Cape Fur seals...in the southern hemisphere. Harbour seals are in the north, in the arctic.
@LiamWakefield Ай бұрын
They're just referring to the fact that these Cape Fur Seals are part of the group who like to hang at the harbour at Walvis Bay. But yes, you're right, the terminology does also refer to a different seal species from the Arctic.

@LiamWakefield I knew what was meant, I just couldn't resist the urge to have a little dig. It's mostly the males that hang out, with their buddies, at the docks. It's a good place to chill, away from the kids and the blooming missus.

Yes and it seems that with more general human hustle and bustle going on around them the seals may be a little more desensitised to the presence of the OCN crew. Besides also being more confident due to their size, I suppose.
