This rescue was kind of surreal, as everyone is still on the beach, even the rescued mom seems to be confused why noone is panicking and running away.

Yes! Maybe we just witnessed the "Hundredth monkey effect" in action?! If so that would mean that all the seals now know that Naude is not an actual danger to them, only that it might hurt if they got something wrapped around them.

The crowd of seals don't charge or run, because they figured is yet another male seal forcing himself on a female.
I love the way she runs a few feet away from him after getting released but then just sits right there like nothing happened.

Wow, two years ago, and this is still an amazing video. The fact that Naude was able to be so close without scaring them is amazing. It's so cool that Naude was willing to spend so much time sneaking up on them so that he wouldn't disturb them is amazing too.

Maybe while he's sneaking along the beach or crouched down like that he just looks like a seal to them? They probably don't recognize his shape as a predator when he's lying and crawling along the beach.
You saved a full grown seal all by yourself.
What an ingenious strategy, Naude. Not only were the rest of the seals undisturbed but the release seal just casually ambled away, and paused as if to say 'nothing to see here folks'. That was by far one of the very best single handed capture-aid-release plans executed to date.

Actually, she's like "Now I'm onto you. Stay away from my pup!!"
Amazing. Naude is the Obi-Wan of seal rescue. Being so careful to not spook the others - at considerable risk to yourself - is more than commendable.
Great job Naude! Wow, she was so calm for the most part. Probably so happy to have that off too. Thank you!
That was your most stealth capture and release yet. You did it all by yourself with little disturbance to the other seals. So well done!
That was probably the stealthiest save you've made. All the other seals remained calm, and when you cut the line and released her, she stayed close by, probably because of the babies. Great save👍👍 smooth as could be
I am so amazed at how well you not only treat your patients. But how well you treat each other!!
Who gives these videos a thumbs down? 🤔 🤷🏻♂️ The people on these videos should be rewarded for saving helpless animals. 🏆🏆🏆 🙏
Naude, this was such a VERY smooth and stealthy approach, net, removal and return!! This mom showed almost no trauma. I just love that her and her baby were not separated for long. Over an hour of creeping and crawling and yet you were so careful and gentle and mindful of the entire colony🥰
The persistence and kindness of this man is incredible, it's so nice to see people who genuinely care ❤❤❤
You have the patience of a saint, 45 min till she sleeps crawling for over 20 min to not disturb the others and then so gentle with her... Great Job!
One of the awesome things about this is that these animals aren't even technically endangered. This is pure humanitarianism with a goal to stop the suffering of an animal

Thank you for your patience in this rescue with so many new pups who may drown if they were scared into the waters. You are wonderful.
Amazing to see, Naude! The whole group just quietly enjoying their day, and you slither in and perform a removal without exciting anyone! Even the Mom not quite aware😺🤗😊❤️👍
That was a good one. So relaxed after you netted her. Amazing.
That beach looks so smooth from far off but the close-ups show how rocky and rough it is. Naude crawled along it for 20 minutes or more with bare knees just to free that mother. Well done. Merry Christmas to her and merry Christmas to you, too, Naude.
My favorite rescue- when everyone around stays calm
after watching you guys every single day for over a year, I came back to this rescue and realize how brilliant it really was. Naude: Seal Whisperer. People all around the planet love you.... can you feel it?
Incredible. You were in ‘god mode’ today. Thanks for your service.
This has to be my favorite video so far. It was so cool to see her start to take off but because her capture was so stealthy that the other seals were not alarmed, she immediately calmed down also. That was awesome!
It's so crazy to see how chill the seals are if you're careful with your movements. As long as. They aren't spooked, they seem to be relaxed (for the most part)
This really was an incredible rescue! I feel priviledged to be able to witness it. Amazing!
The pups are crawling! So cute!😍😍😍😍😍
MERRY CHRISTMAS
"That was my Christmas!" It's lovely that you enjoy your job so much, and incredible to perform a rescue with so little disturbance. A very real tribute to your knowledge, skill and experience. Thank you for sharing this with us.
You're so sweet, Naude. Wish you a long and happy life with your family.

Yes indeed for Naude and the rest of this team have the biggest heart. The way they talk to these animals, as if they would really understand. Incredible patience and careful handling of these ocean dwellers. For me, it is a wonderful christmas gift you could ever give to people who care for these helpless creatures. It warms our heart watching you.
This rescue was awesome! Incredible how he kept cool and patient and managed to release her safely without disturbing the pups!!!🙌🏻😁👍🏼 Way to go, Naude!!!
Incredibly awesome rescue!!! No disturbance, no complication. And after the rescue, the mom just stayed. Really great to see everything went so well. Super great, Naude! Hopefully the wound will soon heal completely.
Happy christmas for everyone
Naude. Absolute skill. Perfect result. My heart was in my mouth just watching it.

As you said "that was amazing". You have incredible patience and show so much care and concern for those beautiful creatures. They are lucky to have you and your team.
The terrified seals running into the ocean was always the hardest part to watch. I love this new approach!!!! ❤️👏

Stealth mode rescue, excellent work.
Our seal wrestler has left another one better than he found it 😉
Naude! That was amazing incredible capture, rescue and release. How on earth you managed to pull that off without disrupting the colony is amazing. That was the ultimate sneak attack! You are a very patient man, Naude and it's great to know that you take so much care to plan the rescues.

Best catch yet. Why don’t all of you dress entirely in black? Is their color discrimination not sharp? What is that thing on stilts in the water? What type of vessels pass by in your area?
That was amazing. The patience and determination aswell as the wellbeing for mother and pup.... I love this channel. Thank you so much for allowing us to see this. It is bringing so much awareness I hope, it sure did me. 🔆
The best Christmas present, ever! Thank you for saving her Naude! Go OCN!!
This will be a new go to for introducing people to OCN! What a difficult and great rescue!
Way to go! Cool, calm and collected. Mission accomplished. Thank you for that gift to all of us who are deeply grateful for all you and OCN do for the seals. You are undoubtedly awakening many who are oblivious to the horrific damage their carelessness does to bring great pain and death to these magnificent and innocent creatures. May God be with you every day of your life! 🙏🏼💫❤⚘😘🇺🇸

That was great work! By freeing the mother, a good number of seals will most probably be born, so many lives are potentially saved. Thanks for all you guys do!
This was a real treat of a rescue. How you freed her without startling the entire colony.

I find men with a heart of gold rescuing animals incredible attractive.
I love rewatching this disentanglement, the respect for the cow and her calf, a solo engagement without the best tool, and being required to make quick decisions that are safe for the target, her pup, and her rescuer.
Handsome man beautiful heart good deeds!
Merry Christmas naude.
One of my all time favorite rescues. even though I already know the outcome, whenever I watch this rescue I always feel tense as Naude slowly works to free her. Wonderful rescue.
Great rescue! I never knew seals drowned. So many factors. And you were so brave and patient, well done, Hero ❤

This was the most amazing rescue yet! No panic, no disturbance, no mass exodus... Mama was relatively calm in the net, and had that charming state of perplexion afterwards. Merry Christmas, Naude! What a satisfying gift!
If seals could write a top ten preferred rescue techniques textbook i'm pretty sure this would be their number one technique. absolutely outstanding.
This was a heart-stopping for me. I held my breath a few times! Watching Naude rescue her all by himself left me in tears. What an exceptional human being. I don't even have the words....... Kings aren't worthy to touch his feet. The entire team are earths angels.
