I think a small investment in bicycle helmets to wear when working on slippery rocks is in order! Also, the cameras can mount to the helmets easily. Please don't end up in the hospital with head trauma. The seals need you all!

They normally don't do it off these rocks, it's sandy beach for the most part, so helmets are not needed, but I totally agree about the cameras. He uses it for collecting information for research (not just to show us), but there's just gotta be a better way to do it.

Between the slippery rocks and the attack seals, today's rescue was quite the adventure! Loved Antoine's gentle talk to the captured seal. I wonder if they recognize that it as calming?

It’s so sweet how Antoine speaks to the seal during the rescue to try and calm them. They may be scared of humans and of course they don’t understand our languages, but I think they understand the tone of voice. Keep up the great work!

Pisses me off, to see how hard these guys have to work to solve a problem another man caused. Great job.

@@rubinaevgenia987 I’m not sure how much of a vacation it is. They have to remain in top physical shape to run after these seals. While chasing them in dense groups, they have to dodge being bitten by other seals. They have to run on rocky and slippery terrain at times. Sometimes the “thank you “ that they get is a nasty deep bite that requires medical attention with medication after wrestling a large seal and rescuing it. I think it would be easier for them to vacation in Bali a couple of times a year.

One of my favorite rescues also. All the different equipment and strategies you have tried while rescuing your seals over the years have all come together and made this possible. But now we will expect even more heroics! Just make sure to be safe, please! 🦭🙏🌊🌍🇳🇦💙

Man, the way that fishing line got caught on the rocks, she'd have died from that probably before the line could choke her to death the way it normally does--slowly.
