That long spike in the seal's chest must have been so painful! It's sad when the seals must resort to an alternate food source...one that fights back! Hope you won't be seeing more seal carcasses on the beach. Thanks, team!

Smaller sharks are part of their diet. Remember back when OCN had to remove a small shark from the throat of a young seal?

@@frostyfantrash I can see that happening., but they almost always have pods of baitfish to follow and feed on.This is why you always see them entangled in leftover trash from the fishing boats near shore. But they are also opportunistic feeders, and do eat sharks if they see one. Food is food.

Lack of food supply indicator: seals hunting St. Joseph sharks. Thank you for rescuing the seal from the shark spike. Heal quickly, find abundant food and live long. ❤❤

Surprisingly feisty considering the bigger seals get a bit sleepy from the venom the sharks barb produces. Glad you could help him.

Just very grateful that the seal was "despiked." And none of the OCN guys were stabbed along the way!❤

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

Although that barbed spike had already caused a serious infection, luckily the seal still looked quite strong. Thanks guys, for removing that poisonous spike.🙏💕🦭

The spike was so long and deep, the relief to the seal must have been immediate when you pulled it out. Thank you!!!

actually, these spikes are toxic (or venomous to be more precise)

The first dorsal spine is venomous, it’s not innocuous though non plastic. It’s the SJ shark’s natural defense. It’s a foreign object that can be a source of infection and can impair hunting ability. I can’t imagine something that long snd nasty impaled in my own throat, when I whine over just an invisible splinter in my hand! Natural doesn’t always mean safe. Uranium, petroleum, arsenic, poisonous plants and mushrooms, microorganisms that cause epidemics…. all natural. The point is that it indicates these seals aren’t finding enough of what they really need to eat, and that comes squarely back to human activity. Glad the team removed it, thank you guys!

Oh that was so painful, can we imagine that dreadful hook stuck in his neck, that poor baby thank goodness OCN was there to save him. Another seal saved from indescribable pain. Thank you OCN heroes, you epitomes the word hero. Thank you

Nasty looking thing, poor seals always seem to have something that could be dangerous to cope with, glad you saw him. Thankyou OCN .🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hi all! Wow, what a huge thorn. He caused a lot of pain, but now the seal is safe. The main thing is that there are more fish. You shouldn't eat these sharks.

I can't imagine the pain. You'll be OK now, little buddy.

Oh my gosh, that was huge. Thank you all for helping her. ❤OCN

Oh boy that's so sad they are desperate for food.

Qué pena El dolor tan grande, la incomprensión de por qué le pasa eso y además la angustia de sentirse atrapado por "esos seres que no sé qué quieren de mí" Debe ser terrible. Ojalá y se haya salvado. Y sé que mis deseos cuentan menos que nada pero, ojalá y se haya salvado el animalito Para ustedes, como siempre, mis respetos y un gran abrazo respetuoso

Cor blimey. Im shocked at the size. And if we stopped fishing for a month, our marine life would be able to eat their own food source. We need to scrap fishing for the wire too. Our poor marine life is being starved out, and killed by the lines. And obviously our plastic. 😢

К сожалению, мы не решаем проблему, а лишь лечим симптомы пластикового кризиса с помощью наших спасательных средств. Эти видеоролики призваны показать последствия этого загрязнения и изменить его корни, а именно нашу зависимость от одноразового пластика, отсутствие правоохранительных органов на море и недостатки индустрии переработки.

@@OceanConservationNamibia сама живу у японского моря. И многим людям пытаюсь донести информацию о том, что можно обходиться без многих пластиковых предметов, такие например как трубочки и одноразовые стаканчики. У нас кто часто выезжает на пляж у многих свои термокружки, никаких стаканов бумажных или пластиковых. А особенно я противник китайских воздушных фонариков! Это прям беда, потому что запускают их прям у берега, естественно падают они в море, а у нас много котиков и нерп.

I recall, from previous rescues from Saint Joseph shark spikes, that the barbs are poisonous. That must add to the pain and infection. Thanks for the save.

It was disheartening to see that seal with the shark spike in his neck. I am so grateful that team OCN is there watching out and rescuing these animals. 🦭🙏❤️🇺🇲🇳🇦

Those are such nasty things. And how on earth did they end up with the name St. Joseph's sharks? Either way, thanks so much for rescuing that pup, Team OCN, he must have been in considerable and constant pain.
