Seal Bull Rescued With Sharp Hook
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- This was a tense moment! The rescuer managed to approach the entangled seal from above and attempted to cut through a loop of packing strap. However, the strap proved too strong to sever. Fortunately, Antoine’s experience paid off-he quickly adjusted the sharp rescue hook and succeeded on the second attempt. Adding to the excitement, the team also spotted "Cyclops," one of our previous rescues, looking healthy and thriving!

Great seeing Cyclops is still alive, and that's because every time he got tangled up, the OCN team came to his rescue and freed him from yet another packaging strap!🙏
I have to appreciate the fact that the bull that was awake and looking at you the entire time was quiet. Its not often they are. nice seeing your mascot Cyclops aswell.
Probably seen it all go down before.
ДОБРОЕ УТРО АНГЕЛЫ ОКЕАНА ПРЕКРАСЕН МИР ЧТО СОЗДАЛ ГОСПОДЬ А ВЫ РЕБЯТА УКРАШЕНИЕ ЭТОГО МИРА 🎉🎉🎉🌏🙏🌷🙏
Cyclops! Always nice to see a seal you have rescued before, knowing they continue to grow and live out a seal life. What a huge bull he is - also his friends. :)
Cyclops isn't a trouble maker, he just wanted to see his buddies again.
😂🤣
Cyclops is probably entangled so often in part because of bad vision.
Thank you Tony for your incredible talent with the hook and your amazing ability to rescue seal from entanglements.
Cyclops loves playing with and decorating himself with straps unfortunately but thankfully you guys are always there to rescue him!
He doesn’t learn, does he? Cyclops I mean. He must be doing something well regardless because if getting entangled is a show of what he’s good at…. Let’s pray OCN keeps coming to the rescue again, and again, and again… Thanks OCN, your persistence is noted😂
Love how they tore right through that barrier! This is their turf!! lol
👏Antoine, the master of the rescue hook! I found myself holding my breath until that strap was cut. Thanks guys, for checking on the harbour boys regularly.💕🦭
Cyclops always looking for trouble. Another perfect rescue.
Oh! I like the secondary camera angle. That really puts things in perspective. Thank you. You all do so much to help the seals. Thank you!
Life wouldn't be the same without Cyclops!❤
Cyclops seems intent on wearing neck ornaments...doesn't get it's an evil trick to kill him...thanks Antoine for saving the silly big guy once again
Thanks Team OCN for helping Cyclops again😎
👍
It must be so gratifying for you to save a "new" seal and to see a previously rescued one! You guys rock!
👍
Cyclops just can't seem to stop playing with plastic loops, so thank you all, and especially Tony's expertise with the hook, for saving him again!
Cyclops can’t seem to be able to keep out of trouble - thanks, Tony, for your patience, well done! But I can see how these rescues are fun to do. 😘
Thank you Team OCN for saving him ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼
I could not have kept a hook that long, steady enough to get under that strap. What OCN does every day is amazing. You can make it look fairly easy but it’s not. Thank you for everything you do.
Takes LOTS of practice, patience, and combined luck. It also got easier over time with experience.
Thank you! And thank you for making me smile. Be safe!
👍
What a joy, Cycklops is doing well ❤🦭😊. Thank you, very skillful and necessary rescue, although all rescues are needed 💕. Thank you much, Tony and Naude 🧡💯
Good job - like many others, I hold my breath as the hook hovers. Cyclops is a lucky chap, thanks to OCN.
👍
Poor Cyclops he's having a real hard time but thanks to all of you he's still fighting fit and still a handsome Bull despite his war wounds ❤ Thank you team God Bless you all you are all appreciated so much xxx❤❤
SMOOTH! Thanks for all your efforts Team OCN!
👍
Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴
Oh well done!
💗💗 Thank You OCN 💗💗
Ninja Tony and Cyclops, two pals just hanging out together! 😊
Thanks, Tony! ❤ OCN
Oh Tony you've done it again!
👍
Viel Geschick, Geduld und eine ruhige Hand. OCN -Team, Ihr seid wirklich die Größten, alle Achtung‼
Супер, высший пилотаж. Одним движением и жизнь спасена !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ большое спасибо за спасение жизни Циклопа
Thanks for keeping an eye out for Cyclops who is always getting himself into trouble.
❤❤❤ for the team
the seal 'sundeck' in the harbor boys club 😎makes a perfect spot for OCN to scope out rescues. way to go!
You do amazing work. I never tire of watching you save Cape Fur Seals. Each one deserves a normal life without suffering entanglements from human rubbish. 👍
👍
How many times has Cyclops already been entangled? 😅 He must be quite playful still. Glad you keep saving him. ❤
That is the fourth rescue.
@ Wow! 😳
I think Cyclops is getting entangled on purpose just so you'll visit him. Silly joke aside, he must be one of the most unlucky seals to get snagged so many times. Thankfully, he's often found where you can reach him. Thank you OCN!
Thank you!
👍
God bless Cyclops and you all
🙂👍
Great job as always Antione, King of Walvis Bay!
Oh my goodness. I held my breath and stayed as still as I could. How captivating are these rescue attempts. Absolutely engaging ❤❤❤ gratitude to you guys and your beautiful work.
👍
Thanks guys.
👍
Cyclops nice to see you again. Master of the hook Tony.💕
👍
Love stealth mode! Nice save! Poor Cyclops always getting in trouble!
👏👏👏👏♥️ well done Antoine 💋
He purposely gets the entanglements out of the water. Gets his buddies to take it off so the others don’t get entangled.
Good guy. Just a bit of a grumpy guy. Comes with age😅
Well done
Takes LOTS of practice, patience, and combined luck. It also got easier over time with experience.
Sadly, this is a skill we all wish we never had to develop.
Great job guys
Whoa, that fella was Super Bowl material!
Cyclops is that repeat customer who single-handedly keeps the whole company in business. He really loves playing in garbage because he knows he has OCN to rescue him over and over again. (Or he has no memory and just keeps doing the same thing.)
You'd think Cyclops would be up and waiting for you after so many interventions.
Thanks
Poor Cyclops. Perhaps he comes back there because he knows you'll find him again.
Brawo!!!😂Dziękuję za ratunek🍀💚Pozdrawiam Was serdecznie💚🇵🇱💚👋
You’d think cyclops would know by now that they’re there to help him.
I think that, when the seals all make a mad dash to the water when they go to rescue one on the beach.
You would think all the ones that have been helped before would tell the others they are here to help, but instead it's a every seal for themselves mad stampede to the sea. 😀
Parabéns vs. Estão de parabéns 👍👍👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Tony missed the bull the first time but the second try was the charm. Through this they also saw Cyclops and what did he have around his neck again? Uh-huh!
Parabéns pelo serviço de vcs.
I suppose they put the tennis net there to stop the seals from coming up onto the harbour. the seals don't seem to have been very impressed by this flimsy obstacle.
Well done Antoine.
Wow!❤ That was impressive skill😊😊I wasn’t sure if you could do it! Silly me!😂 OF COURSE YOU CAN! And DID!❤
Precious creatures! They make me so happy. Thank you for the amazing work you all do, daily!!!❤❤❤❤
You should paint white "victory markings" on those hook poles after each rescue. Tony would be quite the ace!
😄
Once again the OCN team rescued Cyclops, always on hand today rescue seals entangled in the rubbish humans leave behind.
great work as always folks!! 👍👍
👍
Buenas tardes de domingo! 🇪🇸🙋🏻♀️💙🧒🏻🦭🦭🦭🌍
Tony is very sneaky. Call him, Sneaky.
excellent work. top notch. real good innovation.
Hopefully he learns to avoid plastic one day and hopefully the fishermen in the area also learn how to dispose of their rubbish properly.
Crappy net but what will hold back multiple 300lb animals without hurting themselves on cables/barbed wire... Great work on Billy Breedosaurus !
Back to this famous harbour again 😂
опять этот увалень Циклоп нахватался всякой гадости))
спасибо, ребята, что снова его выручили))💜
OCN team were you able to remove that sheet of aquamarine colored plastic from the slip? I hope so.
I'm curious if the dock workers ever organize a clean up event around there.
Thank you for once again saving Cyclops.
You'd think by now he'd offer a flipper for a high-5, the number of times you've rescued him.
Safe pair of hands Tony.
🙂👍
Wow, so much for that barrier net 😂
Sneky Tony😜 as always great job👍
👍
They talk among themselves and know where to get help. I think it's a game for cyclops, just so he can see you guys😅
Gooooooooood job
Es que Cyclops es el encargado de recoger la basura !😂🎉. El tiene amigos que le ayudan a deshacerse de ellla..😂😂🎉🎉🎉👍👍😂👍
Відео серце й душу гріє, хай життя перемогає, Дякую Вам Усім ❤❤❤.
Not bad ⚡️
He loves a necklace that one ☝️
he's one for getting himself in trouble, or maybe ho does it because he secretly loves the attention he gets from OCN😂 excellent rescue for him again👍👍 maybe you guys need to have a talk with him, about his constant trouble he keeps getting into
Cyclops doesn't care about entanglements. He knows you guys have his back. Now really, what is it, five times already?
Four, I think!
Humans keep stealing my bling
Cyclops, there are better ways to lobby to become a mascot….
❤
Cyclops needs to be a LOT more careful.
Or, maybe he finds these straps then shows up at the locations to battle you all.
It seems that Cyclops is either not very bright, or his missing eye makes it harder to avoid the many water hazards
Cyclops 😂.... thank you Tony and Naude.Cyclops lives another day ❤
Antoine to the rescue again. You are so steady and accurate with that hook. Wow. Like I said before….super powers. 🥰🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼
👍
Not Cyclops again lol
Antoine est véritablement "Le spécialiste" ! Merci
At the end of this clip it says "There are 21,000 pieces of plastic in the oceans for every human on the planet".
But not for this human. Because I've personally removed at least that many.
Speaking of hooks, I was on tenter hooks!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
wb Cyclop ;)
❤❤❤
That “lookout” boy luckily didn’t start to warn the target seal of Tony’s approaching hook. Did he get “paid off” with the promise of a sardine sandwich if he kept his mouth shut?🤫 Well done gentlemen!
🦭🌊💙
❤Team OCN ! nice seeing Cyclops again 👍😎✊
Cyclops is huge. Nice snag as usual Antoine. I still don't know how you do it, and to do this twice - super fast. Amazing!
