Thank you for saving her from a terrible fate. Sad to see so many not sleeping pups. Thank you OCN for making a difference.

Thank you my heroes for saving his life ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼

Because of you this seal was spared the fate of suffocation and starvation. Hopefully she'll lead a long, healthy and entanglement-free life from now on. Thanks guys!💕🦭♻️

Thank you OCN and those that are like minded! It's absolutely DEVASTATING to see the HARM, if not DEATH that we HUMANS INFLICT on these sensitive, intelligent, majestic animals -- on a DAILY BASIS! We must do better! What I appreciate most is that the OCN team (seen and unseen) is all about action! Too many of us essentially are complicit with our silence and lack of action! We made this wretched mess -- now it's up to us to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for all of this DEVASTATION. Our actions (and/or lack of actions) DEMANDS that we CLEAN UP our destruction of this planet. We must also do all that we can to mitigate the exposure, the injuries, and the trauma that we inflict on the earth and her inhabitants. It may already be too late so time IS of the ESSENCE!

Thank you, noble men.

Our efforts are just a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of tonnes of trash entering the world's oceans every year. We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

Thanks guys for saving this beauty and giving her that second chance. ❤️🙏🏻👍

Hi all! Very cool video! There are jackal, and seals of all ages, and three of my favorite rescuers, and of course humor from Tony. Puppies are not allowed!

Momma seal did very good with this rescue, and should heal nicely. I sure hope the little ones in the back ground were still sleeping. Those Jackals see to be waiting for an easy meal. 💔

Some of the Cape fur seals seen in this video might have been fast asleep, but some were deceased. It is sad, yet perfectly normal, in colonies of tens of thousand pinnipeds to see dead bodies lying on the beach. Natural causes like predation, starvation and sickness prevent half the Cape fur seal pups to see year one. Older animals are also subject to diseases and injuries. We leave the dead bodies to the seabirds, jackals and hyenas.

It breaks my heart that they suffer because people don't clean up after themselves when in the ocean. Thank You for always being there for them. God Bless everyone of you. ❤❤😊❤❤

Thank you to the OCN team for all your dedicated hard work to save seals. Bless you all!!

Poor beautiful female seal 😢. Fortunately OCN men spotted him 🙌👀❤. Thank you, Naude, Denzil and Antoine ❣💯♻♻

The seals were remarkably calm throughout. Maybe word is getting around that you guys do good deeds! Looks like there was a big male watching over the rescue.

That looked so sore😢 Poor seal was really good despite being in pain. Thank you for saving her from a miserable fate.❤

That was a pretty chill Jackal i must say. They rarely let you guys get that close. Not super optimal of curse a running Jackal works like a signal to the seals to run for the water.

It seemed as she was waiting patiently for the zip to work. 😮😂

The three classics 😂

I know this is a sad question but does ONC team check on dead seal bodies for entanglements ? I guess they mainly focus on suffering seals that can be saved and even if I think most of the dead seals are from natural causes at Pelican Point thanks to very regular patrol from OCN, I am curious to know if the teams checks those poor seal who didn't make it du to Human's activities.

Oh...now I get it. The little puppies can't hear regular voices, it must be in Tony's special puppies only voice for them to be able to hear it properly.

Damn it looked cold out there.

Could you scan the group with a drone from above? Could you use some small, electric, large skateboards you could lie down on to sneak up on them?

@LiamWakefield

29 күн бұрын

This has become quite a popular question. Drones may help with surveying large colonies etc, but identifying the individually entangled seals using powerful binoculars and coordinating from the ground by radio has been found to be a very effective method. This is evidenced by the number of videos where the team are rescuing many seals in a day with little break in the activity. Previous response from Ocean Conservation Namibia: Drones are very useful to survey Cape fur seal colonies, especially during breeding season, but they are useless to spot entangled animals. The majority of the marine litter we rescue these animals from only weighs a few grams and is very difficult to spot from the ground - let alone the sky.

@LiamWakefield

Previous response from Ocean Conservation Namibia: We have tried different rescue methods and camouflages in the past and concluded that how we do it now is the best way. The truth is, seals smell us and hear us before they see us. We want to keep each rescue as quick as possible.

Noticed a few dead seals keeping the jackals fed, do you check them to see if they were entangled rather than natural deaths. Interested is all.

@OceanConservationNamibia

On average, we 'only' find four to five dead, entangled Cape fur seals a year. Most deaths are simply normal fatalities, due to predation, starvation and sickness.

NO PUPPIES ALLOWED!!
