Seal Pierced By Shark Hook
The first seal is a recapture - a previously rescued seal. The rescuers are fooled by the scar tissue, from the distance it can look like a fresh entanglement. We do not like to stress animals with unnecessary captures, but if we do like in this case, we use the opportunity to check the old wound. Recaptures are the best proof for us that seals bounce back even from deep entanglements. The second seal cannot be released as easily - he has a shark hook stuck in his mouth and he is dragging a piece of fishing line behind. The rescuers have to secure him properly to avoid getting bitten during the hook removal. They know they have to hurt him before he can get better and they are all relieved once the hook is out and the seal is back in the water. 🦭

You all trying to get that seal to open his mouth is like giving my dog a pill. Great work as always folks!
Recaptured seals give them the opportunity to check their progress. Poor seal, he's such a good patient! You gentlemen are His lucky day! ❤
I'm glad you always catch every seal that might be entangled, even when you think it's a recapture. Better safe than sorry.🦭🌊💙
The seal was really calm while you were pulling that out. Another great job guys saving lives!

Yes...l kind of imagine the Seals are like 'Oooo nooo lm caught lm gonna get killed now'...then the other hurty thing suddenly gets better and then they go 'oh hell run they let me loose!' I think we all dream of the day a Seal sits and waits for them to come help....or flipflops up to Antoine pretending to be snared up so it can get a neck scratch and be called 'puppy' 😂😁😎😍

Another beautiful example of what OCN does the best, their experience doing hook removeval is second to none!!!
When a rescue is so calm, relaxed and well behaved he won’t bite anything, even though you need him to. Keep fighting the good fight!
He seemed to know you were helping. So glad you saw him!
The seal so well behaved he knew he has been helped by the great team and he heard Tony voice,thank you for doing this
What a fantastic thing to find that your rescues have healed up and alive and well within the population!!!!! Must be a euphoric feeling for all of you 😊❤️
I was so moved to find this video in Korea that I found the entire Ocean Conservation Namibia video. I invested a lot of time to watch it for a few days. As a subscriber, I'll continue to watch it. During the rescue process, you get bitten by a seal and get hurt. I hope you have good luck. A lot of people around the world will cheer you on and respect you. Thank you.
Oh my God! That was excruciating to even watch! That poor seal must have been in lots of pain, and so hard for you to help her. Yet you persevered, as always. Thanks OCN. Have a perfect weekend.

I’m so amazed at how the zippers in your nets keep working in all that sand! 🤩 Also amazing as to how you can actually see the animals that need help, at great distance in the middle of hundreds of seals. You fellows work pure magic! 🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍
A "recapture" is like a follow up visit. Gives OCN the chance to check the healing process.

You men deserve an award for all your amazing work rescuing seals , ABSOLUTELY 💯 👏 💙 ❤ God bless you all 😘 🙏❤
No matter how many times you said 'open your mouth please' the seal did not want to assist you, but I'm so happy that you were able to remove the hook. It must have been so painful for him
Операция прошла успешно правда напряженном состоянии переживая за котика но все получилось спасибо добрие люди здоровья всем🙏
What a treat a whole 11 minute upload this saturday. Well done OCN!.
You folks are so kind and so fearful to these seals.
Unbelievable that's amazing...you all are amazing..thank you so much NYC one
These hook rescues are so intense! Well done guys!
The seal seemed to realize you were trying to help. So incredible that it opened it's mouth and Naude was able to get the hook out. Amazing reflexes Naude.
Thank you guys for saving these animals.
that hook must have been causing alot of pain. that's probably why the seal didn't want to open his mouth. you guys always have the right equipment and tools to get the job done, even if the tool is a simple piece of wood. great job as always
Thank you OCN for saving this seal from a lifetime of pain and a terrible death. The tragedy is that all the agony these poor animals go through is completely preventable. Heal very well and very fast and stay as safe as you can dear seal.
The way you guys sprint across the sand is amazing!

I think of that every time! I'd be flat-out on my face with a mouth full of sand, as the seals scamper over my body!
Love the recaptures; wonderful how healing is the seawater of wounds that are sometimes so horrific.
Naude is now singing to the seals. So cute!!!
This is what life is about. protecting animals that are suffering from our ways of life.I would not want to die so painfully and slowly.grate channel lots and lots of respect
Thank you OCN for helping him.Great job!!👍👍👍👍
Yes, the hook was bad for sure, but I was so happy to see the recapture doing so well and thriving!
It's great to see the recapture heal so well.
Awesome catch/rescue Naude ! 👏🏻👏🏻
These guys are unbelievable. Lucky seals to have them looking out for them. Bless them. Every one of them.
It's an amazing system you've worked out for hooks; lo-tech, high safety, very swift. Like a minimalist painting. And Naude's singing is the mark of a professional. He enjoys his complex job and makes it look easy. You all make up such an incredible team!!
That was a tough one ! GREAT JOB GUYS! ❤️
Wow, you guys are so gentle and patient with the seals! You're very kind 🥰. Also very strong and fit, to be able to chase and wrestle the powerful seals. Thank you, from Idaho USA!
Ой, ужас! Как хорошо, что так закончилось. Успехов, всем здоровья.
You people amaze me. I'm so grateful for all you do for these precious (dangerous) animals.
Good rescue .. Heart breaking to see hooks in them, but the patience you show and compassion makes it worthwhile!!
That's unbelievable .... Amazing .... U guys are amazing ... Great job 👍 OCN ... Thank U .... Those seals are greatful to have you.
Great work Naude firstly spotting him then getting the hook out great work all of you thank you so much. I love the longer videos Jeremy Downunder
This search and rescue effort reminded me of my trip to the dentist where he said: open wide. Great results OCN. Much respect.
This was an excruciating rescue, but you had a great patient, even if he couldn't understand your instructions.
Спасибо вам ОГРОМНОЕ РЕБЯТА, за ваш БЛАГОРОДНЫЙ ТРУД!!!! С УВАЖЕНИЕМ ИЗ УКРАИНЫ!!! МИР ВАШЕМУ ДОМУ!!!!
Good ones. Really rewarding to see the recapture. And great work on the hook.
W.O.W I can't believe how still that seal was❣❣ Maybe the poor seal thought, they are putting me out of my misery? Not a fat chance you sweet seal❣❣ "We are here to help you" says OCN.THANKS MUCH GUYS for checking the first one to make sure it wasn't an entanglement God Bless and Take Care❣❣🙏🙏

It's always good to see a recapture! Proof you're making a difference!!! And, it's so funny to see the seals clamp their mouth shut. Just like a dog! I'm sitting here saying, 'Come on Sweety, they're just trying to help. Open up!' 😂

So very heartbreaking, glad you could help. Thank you team seal.🤗💜👣🍁🇨🇦
You are so incredible ! Now you are using the learning from last time grabbing him from outside first time with the towel to increase control of the head & now with the other net. YOUR BRAVERY & incredible precision is amazing to watch. Thank you for what you do and for all your videos
That animal seemed to be calmed by your calm during what I'm sure is a fairly risky procedure. Great work guys.

When Naude was saying 'open your mouth' I was opening mine. 😂😂 These seals are very lucky to have men and women like you willing to go out in all weather's and at all times of day to help them.
정말 동물의아픔을 치유해주시는당신들 훌륭하십니다
Good job guys. You are all helping the seals, even though they don't know that sometimes. Very good 👍 👏 👌
Parabéns, ainda bem que vocês conseguiram tirar o anzol da boca dele, não foi fácil.
7:44 As usual OCN team prepared for all eventualities, including it seems vampire attack! Excellent job guys. Keep it up.
You just improve the quality of his life. Thank you so much.
Amazing catches, no gym memberships for you! Also what an eye on the recatch whose paying attention to see something that subtle...well done! I doubt I could have seen that you are all amazing.
Спасибо за работу.
당신들이 너무 훌륭합니다 존경 하고 감사합니다 최고 입니다 ❤❤❤
You are like watching a fine surgery team! Another job well done ❤️
Thank you Team OCN 🪝Proud of you all!
You guys do it all. True heroes. I have a sore molar...Tony you and Naude sing to me while the Namibia Flash chases me on the beach. I promise not to bite. Good job! 👍
Omgosh I just hold my breath and pray you get the hook and then its out! I love how you all are not willing to give up but keep trying until you succeed! So very inspiring! You boys rock!!!!!
Wow, great catch Naude - just in time. The team are just like surgeons performing a delicate operation. You get better each time. Thanks & stay safe. Remember, always count your fingers.
I watch these with reverence, admiration, and fun. Thanks for the adventure.
Какие смелые ребята!!!! Молодцы! Спасибо вам😘
Ребята вы делаете великое дело . спасибо вам огромное .
Patience and skill resulted in yet another phenomenal rescue. Thanks guys!
For the sea surgeons, it’s just another successful day at the office. For the seal, it’s just another day to hunt, explore, & be pain-free.
Excelente trabajo 👏 👍 Dios los bendiga que buen equipo

Antoine is awesome! He is so intoned with how the seals are feeling, he gives the seals body rub while they are trying to remove the entanglements...he seems to know how to help the seals, Great job ! Keep it up !
Very careful surgery by Naude finally got that hook out! Great rescue team OCN.
