Rescuers Run Far To Save Three Seals
It is already a challenge to spot entanglements from hundreds of meters away. Luckily we have good binoculars and spotting scopes. The more significant challenge arises when we try to reach them before they disappear into the ocean. Seals often slow themselves down by creating their own traffic jam, but on other days it is up to the rescuers to set new sprinting records. It is straightforward: an animal dies if we are too slow. 🦭

😢 ‘An animal dies if we are too slow’ brought me to tears. The truth can often be very painful to contemplate. BUT your continuing battle to save these beautiful seals is beyond measure. Kind regards from your friend in England 🏴.

And generations continue every time they save one!
Big Mama must have felt such relief as so much of her body was restricted. Awesome job!!! 🧜🏽♀💜🦭
It's so good to see the seals expand and breathe properly as they are freed from the entanglements. Well done team, and thank you.
I'm always amazed Naude can run long distances, in sand, with a camera in his mouth and not lose it for gasping for breath. The OCN crew never stops, going for a seal here, another there and saving all those they see that need help. Well done to you all and thank you.
Tony was on a roll👏! But these images also make it painfully clear how huge the plastic waste problem is, when you find three entangled seals in such a short time😪.

I think Tony would run himself to death for the seals, without a second thought. ❣❣❣❣
I'm glad you all have the stamina for those long, fast dashes after entangled seals, especially on sand. Thanks for the rescue hat trick!
Mamma thanks you..Baby thanks you..the world thanks you.. ❤️💙🦭
Thank you my heroes for saving them ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏻

Hallo Hendrik! Greetings from the US! 👋
I'm really glad you could rescue these seals before any serious damage was done to them. Great work as always, OCN!
Yet another brilliant save from the human rubbish, quick capture and release. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴
Die Tierrettung der Robben durch das OCN-Team findet bei so vielen Menschen aus allen Herrenländern der Welt so viel Zustimmung das Man nur staunen kann. Obwohl und da bin ich mir fast sicher, die wenigsten je eine lebende Robbe gesehen haben. Einfach nur gut. 👍👍
3 entangled seals in such a short (exhausting for the rescurrs) time -- team OCN is always AMAZING! I chuckled when the guys headed towards the 2nd seal ... I don't think I've seen one sitting up SO straight after being netted. As always, I'm SO glad the OCN team is there to save these precious creatures ... thank you, HEROES!

I laughed out loud to myself over that second seal too! Just sitting so straight up..😂
What a great day! Three rescues in one trip. You rock OCN!!!
Three lives saved in such a short amount of time! The team can hardly catch their breath, but there will be time for that AFTER they save as many as they can. Looks like the team might also need to hurry against the incoming fog. Well done team!

Hallo Ellen, auch Du findest immer die richtigen Worte für das fantastische OCN-Team. Viele Grüße nach Amerika. 👍👍
You guys are amazing. Even when tired you never give up. Thanks to all the folks at OCN for all the tireless work you do.
That was really a text book netting. No chance for the subadult to bite on the rim of the net, and it went straight in into a good position for the removal of entanglement.
You guys are heros. Keep going on with your amazing work. God bless you all.
3 seal lives rescued again !! Thank u all so much !! 🏃♂🏃🦭🦭🦭
Die Tierrettung der Robben durch das OCN-Team findet in fast allen Herrenländern der Welt von den Menschen große Anerkennung. Obwohl und da bin ich mir fast sicher die wenigsten eine lebende Robbe gesehen haben. Gut so. 👍👍
grazie dall'Italia, siete gli angeli di quelle meravigliose creature, VI ADORO
2:33 I LOVE the way Wally laughs when he nearly gets bitten!!! Haha 😂 🦭
I find it surprising when the seal is fighting at first, but as soon as the first line is cut they settle down and let you do what you want too. They know.
Fantastic rescue Guy's You have saved the day. 🦭🦭🦭 Happy Mama 💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
Your work amazes me! You all work tirelessly saving these animals and allowing them to create future generations. Thank you for your endless caring!
😢when you said that if you' re not quick enuff that seal will die. tears in my eyes, what a big momma, I'm sure she must be happy to have gotten all that li e off of her 😊
You know running on sand is hard when marathon runner Naude is breathing hard after a rescue!
Bless you my heros! GIVE A HOOT! DON'T POLLUTE! HUGS AND PRAYERS FOR YOU ALL!
3 lives saved. I hope you pat yourselves on the back every day that you do this. You make a difference to this world.
Добре що допомогли цим тюленям добре що ви є що було б якби не допомогали не спасали сумно уявити низький уклін за за спасіння котиків🙏🙏🙏❤🍓🍒
Three nice rescues to start off my morning in CA! Well done guys!
Hears breathing from the sound, that you are tired. I´m not surprised, a lot of hard runs. Big seas in trouble. Great job, really great 👏👏👍👍💪❤🙂. thank you, for the rescue 💓🦭🦭🦭💓. I hope big mama find a puppy soon.
You could almost feel mum's relief when you cut those god awful lines off her. Well done chaps.
Wally needs to add a hockey players cup to his kit!

Wow, busy day so far. Great work on rescuing these guys!!!
God bBless❤
Wow, poor mama seal. She must have felt instant relief.
Great job guys. Three saved
Well done!
Just recently I discovered your channel and boy was I shocked to learn how many sea animals entangle themselves in rubbish. I wince when you show me those gruesome cuts some of those seals have because they grow into them. And those poor creature which got themselves hooked, complete horror. I want to say thank you for your dedication to save as many animals as you can and for all the thoughts, work and money you put into this. The world is a better place because of you. You inspire me and others. Everyone can ask himself/herself, what could I do to help those in need.
"The amount of commercial fishing line abandoned, lost or discarded every year could wrap around the equator 405 times." Yikes!
I love them when they are fat and healthy. Well done.
I'm glad you got to them before major damage was done🙌 it always brings a smile to my face watching the release🤗 Thank you all🙏❤
If four hundred and five times doesn't sink In I don't know what will. Thank you guys for what you do.🙏🙏
These men are FIT. Seal wranglers❤😂
No conocia el caracter del las focas, gracias a estos maravillosos chicos las conozco y son como perritos . PERRITOS DEL MAR! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ale akcja super brawo❤❤❤
You are all such wonderful human beings. Thanks so much for all you do!
Well done guys.
Как замечательно! Люблю вас всех!!
Great work, team OCN! Thank you, thank you.
Well done my favorite team ,thank you for your hard work saving these innocent seals , God bless you all
Mama seemed to relax a bit after you guys cut that first bit... it was obvious relief for her... you guys are great!
Well done guys 👌🏻👏🏻
Especially on a day like today, you guys are also a great reminder that I need to get myself into shape. The workout you get helping these seals... WHEW! Yeah, you have to stay in good shape! (You're also ~20-25 years younger, so there is that!) Keep up the great work, heroes :)
Your fitness, strength and drive is RIDICULOUS!!! In the UK you see groups of people working out in parks, whatever the weather, usually British Military Fitness Bootcamps....you could start up a Namibian Seal Rescue Fitness Program, to be done on soft sand, trying to avoid the incoming sea, and train up new potential rescuers before taking them out to The Skeleton Coast!!! You are all AMAZING 🤩🙏🏻🫶🦭
Amazing eyes!! Well done! Thank you for all you do to help these seals!!
Great work to save these seals.
Парни спасибо что спасаете тюленей океаны сейчас загрязнены глобальное бедствие
You guys are AWESOME!!
Never stop, you guys and gal. Great job. Careful when releasing. Being on your knees does not give you much escape movement.
Excellent Job Team #OCN!!!💖🤗😘…. Ever Sooo Grateful For Your Unwavering Valiant Efforts!!!💖🤗🙏💙🇺🇸🌎
Witam Was👍To była akcja!!! Trzy wolne foki😂Dziękujemy💞🇵🇱
Gd bless Team OCN! 🙏❤
I love these sea puppies. Great work!
Que gran equipo muchachos!!!!! No paren, tienen la vida de su lado
Great work as always folks!! 👍👍
We all know how adults talk to babies, these handsome men talk to these babies in the same manner, & oh how it makes me giggle 🤭 Thank you for ur hard work & devotion to save these precious babies, & there have been many. Thank you ocean Angels for those huge hearts ❤ of yours, for *GOD* Is watching too. 🌊🌊🌊🌹🌹🌹💜💜💜
You all never fail to amaze and impress!!! 💞💕💞♥️💜💙🧡💕💞💞 We all deal with our environmental polluters... here, in America, a bill, introduced by Rep. Stan McClain of McClain Construction, was just passed by Florida legislators to use radioactive waste in the road paving material all over the state. Yeah, you read it right... 🙄 I'm just so glad we live a couple thousand miles away in Massachusetts now!!!
Thank you 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻
You guys are doing an awesome job 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Muito obrigada 🤍🇧🇷
Danke💖
I watch your videos every time they come up on my phone. I must say I hold my breath while you are cutting them free and then I breathe again when those babies get to return to the ocean. Definitely an adrenaline rush.
Mama was so angry at first, but all she wanted to do was get away once you cut the line. No grudges held. I think there must be a special kind of heaven for animals harmed by humans. Thank you for dedicating your lives to them! 💙🖤🤍
У вас лучшая работа в мире!
Thank you for helping those beautiful creatures 💜
Ciao😊 siete meravigliosamente bravi❤

Good work OCN Crew. 3 in a row, a basic day :)
Awesome job getting 3 seals in one approach. Glad the seal just needed a second look Wally ;-) So glad you saved the momma, sub adult and that mega pup. you guys rock!!
🙏🙏👍😍😍

It's such a blessing that you guys are such good individuals who cares about the plights of those poor entangled seals. Thank you and may God always bless you all. 🙏💕
