Huge Seal Bull too Big for Rescue Net!
When we are dealing with a big proud alpha seal bull like this one, a rescue needs more strategy and planning than our usual catch, cut, and release approach. Unfortunately, we didn’t have that time on our hands and had to think on our feet, especially because he didn’t even fit in our rescue net. All three rescuers joined forces and secured him, cut the entanglement, and released him. He has earned our respect!

Now that's one big bull. Thankfully, the net didn't get distoryed like the orange net was. A big thank you to the people who make and donate the nets.
The fact that the massive bull was rescued with minimal swearing until the end is even more impressive to me. 😅

I swore just watching it! 😂What a rescue!
Gosh, you must have needed every bit of your nerve to tackle that bull. Even his noises weren’t the normal grumbles, but a full-on menacing growl. Thank you for saving both seals - your kindness and courage to help them all, whatever their size or the difficulty, know no bounds, and all whilst educating us all about the perilous state of our oceans. I understand your message that you wish you hadn't had to develop the skills, but for all the seals you have saved, and for those you will go on to save, I am so grateful you have.

Seal bull is strong! Almost missed
Two great rescues, that bull was huge. Credit to the net makers for making them strong enough for a seal that big & strong !
That's what I love about you guys...no matter how big the seal, you are committed to freeing it from whatever rubbish it's caught in. This huge bull probably outweighed the 3 of you put together, but you found a way to help him. Thank you so much!❤

Exactly what I was thinking, especially about him outweighing the three of them, a solid slab of muscle.

Kept trying to help yo! Even breathed hard for you! Hope it helped.
Hi all! This video is a must watch! Get a lot of fun, see the really coolest and biggest seal, and how the team was able to free it. And the poor baby with the gillnet... It's great to know it's out of danger now. Today is February 24, 2024. This amazing channel has 1.82 million subscribers. Subscribe if you haven't already. By subscribing, liking, commenting and donating, you help save seals.
American bull riders have to stay on with one hand for at least seconds. Far as I'm concerned you guys outrank them by a lot..GOLD medal work is what you do, no comparison to rodeo riders. You save lives says it all and your commitment to the ecosystem is inspirational.
That huge boy wore the net like a hat. I didn’t think he would ever fit in. For a change, the target hitting the water actually helped to get him netted. Wonder if the extra large monster net was used? Any skin left on the soles of Naude’s feet after that? Once again truly, WELL DONE Gentlemen 🦭🌊💙

That bull was strong and agile. For a second I thought Denzil was about to go surfing, Captain Ahab style, courtesy of one angry bull seal. Hats off to Denzil for hanging in there long enough for the reinforcements to help out. These guys are the best.

Wow! What a beast! You didn’t know I was helping - I kept pressing my brakes !
This just shows the experience and how dangerous this job can be. Thankfully team communication and strength worked to save this Bull. This could have turn out badly if not for their skills. Then saving the pup and almost getting bit was another life saved. Imagine the adrenaline dump after these rescues!
That big bull is telling the younger seals how he stood up to the humans and escaped! You might need a bigger net. 😂
Oh bravo guys! That was a great job saving that magnificent beast and the little pup as well.
Great team work mates, you have saved thousands of seals and their future offspring.

@sarguero. Well said, and blue "meme" 😊👋, greetings.
That was intense! But so satisfying to watch that bull take a first deep breath for who knows how long. incredible teamwork. And the pup quite had a lot to say too. Thank you for saving these beautiful creatures.
Another job well done, thank you for not giving up on him!!

That's one gorgeous seal, I tell you. Strong efforts paid off. But wet jeans on a chilly day deserves another cup of coffee and more cookies. ☕😊
Great job team. After a quick 10 seconds of celebrating an amazing rescue, you are off to save another seal. Thanks for doing what you do
That giant seal sounded just like a lion!

😪Poor little one, gill nets are cutting so quickly into the flesh of such a fast growing pup. Thank you guys, for freeing him from this deathtrap!🙏🦭
Great team work, the huffing and puffing from every one showed how much effort went into saving the big guys life. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴
What a great rescue from the 3 musketeers Naude Denzil Tony That was a work out and a half Nothing too big for OCN Love you all thanks for all your hard work 😇😇😇🫶🫶🫶⭐⭐⭐🏴
He is one big boy. Thank you in finding away to help him.
OCN my Family I miss you all soo much. My husband had a stroke and a heart attack. I am very busy caring for him.. But wow that was one huge Seal. I am happy you were able to cut him out of that entanglement. But that is what my superheroes do, they protect and serve, even the seals :) Love you all. I will be back when i can..
Now that's a BOSS seal just chilling on the beach with all his ladies and offspring what a beautiful beast. Thanks to the crew for saving him
He was a big boy! Great work men! Thank you OCN!
Oh my goodness that is a very very large baby boy you guys are wonderful
Wow, that was absolutely thrilling to watch! When he started into the water I was sure all was lost but Team OCN did it. One can really see how you guys put your lives on the line when you rescue the big bulls. But he really needed the help, I could hear his breathing improve the second each strap was cut. Bless you heroes and stay safe!!
Wow, I thought the seals on the dock were big, OMG, this bull was HUGE! I thought the rescuers were going to lose him in the water! What a demonstration of teamwork, strength, tenacity, dedication and expertise. Luckily the strap was straight forward and fell off easily. Then, we can't forget about that little guy's severe entanglement. I'm using the 'S' word this time. This is a fine example of why I consider OCN to be Superheros. This is their Super Power. All their characteristics make them Superheroes. I'll never tire of watching them work. LOVE YOU OCN!!! 🥰😍🥰
He had to swim into the net to get seated properly. Good thing were were three of you there today!! 🧜🏽♀💜🦭
Getting in the water is what helped. He tried to swim and put his flippers in the net.
Oh my gosh! Those rumbles and that look he gave you when he came loose from the net!😳😵💫. You are amazing in your determination!
That's the King of the Seals you just saved!
Holy Dooley that was a Huge bull! He really put a good fight and was determined to take Denzil for a dip. Thank you for saving him and giving him a chance to sire more strong pups. Puppy was very cute with his growls and now he can grow to be as big as Leviathan. ❤
Got out of breath just watching that 😮 god knows what it was like for you guys 🦭💕👏🏻
It was a smaller bull that dragged Naude at the dock last November. I figured Naude would be going for a swim this time. Gives new meaning to "catching the bus". Those big boys are relentless, and smart. They don't get that big without knowing some tricks.
You guys make me smile! I live for your videos and never get tried of watching them!❤❤❤

Whoa!!! Such a big boy you rescued from being strangled!!! And rescuing the little guy entangled in the gill net!! Well done, OCN Team👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻‼️ God bless you for helping so many seals daily🙏🏻🥰❣️
my goodness - well done guys!!
Yo no estoy ni cerca de donde uds están, vivo en Colombia el país de la belleza, pero les agradezco de todo corazón la labor tan hermosa qué hacen...Dios los bendiga!!!
I would say you need a bigger net but if that bull was dragging the three of you around like that, a bigger net wouldn't help. Thanks for the bravery you three.
I hope that everyone watching will make a commitment to keeping our oceans cleaner any way possible.
Ребята, вы- герои!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Col bestione è stata dura ma il risultato non cambia...il grande libero e il piccolo libero... grazie 🦭👍🤙
Thanks!!! О том боже!Какой зверюга!С ума сойти!☝️👌👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
수고하셨습니다
God bless you all OCN crew for saving these lovely seals ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even if the net don't fit, OCN won't quit! 🎉 No puppy talk from Tony on this guy, though!
Holy smoke that is a huge bull seal. You guys did so well to save him from the strap around his chest. Awesome work. Total heros. !!!
Wow, you needed all the muscle you could get for this rescue this is the ultimate seal redeo rescue unbelievable ✋️
What a brut! Amazing job moving him around as well as the three of you were able to. Exciting rescue fellas! Thank you OCN 😊
Wow, that was a struggle to get that huge bull settled and saved. Thank you for saving these lives!
Wow! That big one was a roller coaster of emotions! Exhilarating? You bet! Well done team, I could sense your hearts beating! Bravo!
WOW!!!! What A SAVE!!! Our Seal Heroes Never Gave UP ON That HUGE BULL!!! 💋
Oh wow! Action packed, he did not want to get rescued. Survival instinct fight to the death. Little did he know you were trying to prevent his death. Great job guys! The other little one was so patient while you removed the gill net ( a couple of snarls). Thank you for two more rescues. ❤❤❤
What a seal beast ! Unstoppable, fearless team of rescuers.👍👍👍
This is amazing! The bull is massive and strong, he shakes his head and he bites but he gets tired after a while. The pup with a cut in the neck requires a more cautious approach. Fantastic works, thank you, Naude, Antoine and Denzil! Much admiration and respect for what you do daily.
WHOA! You guys!!! That daddy was HUGE!! I'm glad I'm sitting down, I would have fallen over. And you guys make it look so easy. . . business as usual. Bravo!
Incredible! Thank you for saving those seals, you are all amazing, and make this world a better place 🙏🙌🌸♥️
Wow what a huge and strong bull 😱 Thanks Team OCN for your determination and saving that big boy👍 Love this video❤
My heart bleeds for what we are doing to these beautiful animals.
Wow! What a workout with that big one 😮. The rescue team DEFINITELY replenished their feathers in their wings today ❤️🙏🏾.
that’s a BIG DADDY..!! I think he took a big breath before he took off..first in a while I bet.. thanks to OCN seal wranglers..! ❤️❤️❤️
It appeared to me that everything in front of the strap was swollen because of the restriction. He must have been in a great deal of discomfort. Great job saving him!
I hope you know that I was pulling and grunting with all my strength trying to help! Whew! Magnificent creature!! Bless you!! ❤
You saved the 2 extremes in this video - the biggest bull by far that I have seen and I watch every day and a small pup. This little one will now have the chance to grow to the size of your first patient! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ihr seid das Beste was den Tieren und uns Menschen hätte passieren können. Vielen lieben Dank für eure Hilfe. Gott schütze euch 🍀🍀🍀
Wow. Just wow. Well done guys
Lovely work, guys. We have no idea how difficult your conditions are eg, what you step in, how dangerous it is, but you are fearless and save SO many of these beautiful seals. They do thank you, maybe later, when they are enjoying a pain free swim!! Excellent human beings!
The myth, the legend, the monster seal, finally caught on video and saved! Rereleased to haunt the oceans!
No gym membership required, that was one heck of a workout! Great job.
Holy moly Naude. you might need an 5XL net for those huge buggers
Thank you guys for doing what you do. When God needs a break from all the evil and stupidity in the world, he comes and watches you.❤🎉
The little one was taking its cue from the big handsome bull. You are real super heros!!!
Holeeee Crap!!!! I was freakin' in my seat! I really thought this was a "One that got away" vid! Strength, knowledge and perseverance paid off!
That's one big strong bull, you guys earned your money today. Thank You all!
❤ merci beaucoup pour tous vos sauvetages ❤
I'm officially speechless. Thank you for saving them, team OCN!!
That was extremely courageous of you! I think it’s comparable to netting a tiger. Very very dangerous. Hats off to the whole team! i’m so glad you made it out unscathed.
Well done guys,great teamwork love from new Zealand
