Imagine being the seal: first you get almost strangled, and when you try to hide in the group, they spot exactly you! Ha! But you were lucky and could escape. They must have been distracted by that thing you had around your neck.
What a juggling act! I can't believe you hung on to both of them after they got out of the nets and reached the water, more than once. You guys are truly something!
The most amazing thing for me was having scissors in one hand and getting bitten he still managed to ctach two seals at the same time without hurting them.
I give you people full credit for not giving up. Of course, the seal pups get an A+ for shear determination on trying to escape. In the end, everyone won, seals escaped but minus an entanglement. Hope the bite wasn't too bad. Great job, all of you. 🇨🇦
*"Hope the bite wasn't too bad."* doesn't look like it. from the footage it looks like he was lucky and the seal didn't get a clean hit, the watch and the shirt sleeve took most of it.
Wow, the determination of the two sea puppies wanting to escape, and Naude’s determination to bring them back, must have been exhausting. Definitely a tougher crowd today than usual, but everyone did a great job saving all of them. Thank you for being their heroes!🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭💕👍🙏🏻
I was laughing and crying at the same time. They look so cute trying to hop away. Little witch hats bopping around on the sand. But at the same time, the fact that these guys go there, for the sole purpose of spotting entangled seals, and the number of them that were actually found……. That is insane. And it is a “routine rescue”, so they do this all of the time. It shouldn’t be like this. What have we done to this wondrous place, and the other living beings that we share it with?
This never stops! Celebrate these rescuers! The work they do is inhuman! They are incredible humans. These pups are so terrified to be saved. This makes me so angry the humans and the animals have to endure this! Heroes come in all forms. These humans are heroes. Angels among us all!
I almost think the dead fish are the result of some kind of phenomena. I don't mean anything "supernatural" but possibly a localized tidal wave that happens to catch a large school of fish and dumps them too far ashore for them to return to the water....? That's my guess.
@@mikejensen4238 When I was young we would have times on the shores of Lake Michigan where the dead alewives would pile up so much you couldn't walk on the beach without stepping on them. It doesn't get that bad every year but when it happens it's certainly noticeable. This was certainly a wild ride rescue this time!
Standard sardine “run”. It happens annually along the Namibian and South African coast. We used to leave work and rush down to the beach with baskets, bags, duvet covers … anything that would hold the massive harvest coming ashore. It only lasts about half an hour and the beaches are packed with people taking advantage of the free food.
Great respect for the work you do. Poor things have no idea they'll strangle to death slowly if you don't get those things off them and so run away from you and bite. Thanks for being so kind and brave to do what you do.
Oh, man, good job Naude. Have to admit I was laughing even as I was worrying that they were going to get away. Again, you did a stellar job of controlling two feisty seals. Bravo!
I have so much respect for those seals who despite being entangled their desire to live makes them fight back or escape. Great work guys, hope the bites were quickly dealt with and not too deep
Thank you, everyone, from the team on the beach to the people behind the keyboard for all you do to help seals and other sea creatures. You're real heroes for coming back day after day to help those that are entangled.
Oh myyyy.... we've all had days like that! Well, okay, maybe not *quite* as intense as what the OCN team deals with 😀... but where everything seems to go wrong before it gets taken care of. Thank you for your amazing work!
If ever I thought, I, a 56 kg woman of 57, could do this job, this video corrected my fantasy! What an insane amount of strength and agility it takes to wrangle these slippery seals, sometimes simultaneously, and fixate them long enough to be able to cut the strains that strangle them! Chapeau, Naude!!! 🎩 👏👏👏
It’s good to laugh how comical the rescue situation was even if it was equally tragic to find seals so badly entangled. It cannot be easy to see this amount of suffering daily. Thank you heroes🩵
AND have to go home knowing how many got away!!! To bad that the ones who were released from pain & suffering can't tell the others how they were helped & that it didn't even hurt!
Thank you for your kind words! While we’re deeply committed to helping the seals, we know our work is just a small part of a much bigger battle. Our rescues highlight the urgent need to address the root causes of ocean pollution-like our reliance on single-use plastics and the gaps in law enforcement and recycling efforts. By sharing these stories, we hope to inspire real change that goes beyond treating the symptoms and starts tackling the problem at its source.
I shouldn't laugh but I did. I know the struggle was real. Those seals needed your help badly and I'm sure the bite didn't tickle. I didn't know seal juggling was a thing! I watched it three times. Well done Naude, Antwoine & Hawain!
Those two little ones figured out very quickly how to slip out of the net and tested Naude and Hawain's determination. Wow, that was many seals rescued in one run. Thank you OCN !
Man that was unusual too see. But im sure nature will clean up the fish carcassess very quickly. Both jackals and seabirds must be very happy about that feast. Well Done OCN.
Thank GOD for your tenacity! Those squirmy wormies almost squiggled loose and away to the sea before you could disentangle them, most likely would never be seen again, BUT YA GOT EM! GREAT JOB!!! 💖🎉
You were dealing with some 'mischievous' seals that day! Fortunately you succeeded in rescuing them all and had a good laugh afterwards. Thanks guys!💕🦭
I have nothing but admiration and respect for you guys! Growing up, my only desire was to be a veterinarian and travel the world saving wildlife, but wanting to try something for the very first time changed my life forever, senior prom night 1988, that change is 35 now and I call him my oldest son! LOL Thank you guys for all you do! I bet y'all needed a nap after this rescue!
OMG Naude!!! I have always admired that even with the pain of your daughter's illness (which thank God she has already overcome) your compassion and your commitment to save these beautiful creatures has always been 100%! And your rescue today definitely corroborates that! There is nothing left but to thank the Lord for yours and your team presence in this world and for the wonderful work that you guys do!!!! 👏❤️👏❤️👏
OMG - if it wasn’t so serious it would be hilarious! I’ve always admired your work but this takes it to another level. Well done my friends !! I donate whenever I can and I’ll do so again right now You are true heroes!! 🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️
Wow that was hard work! Watching as those two juvies kept getting out and trying to make a break even making it to the water was nerve wracking!! Noooo!
Oh my gosh you were all up against a bunch of naughty kids, I was chuckling at them running off with nets! Congratulations on so many, I lost count ❤❤❤❤❤❤ from me in PE
*This was a GREAT one!! 🤣 It's a thankless job when you get bit by the seal that you are trying to help and save!! This is one way to get your cardio for the day!!!* 💕🤣💕
OMG, I’ve never seen such a lot of escapees! I’m sorry but I was laughing when they kept trying to get out. The two of them together were almost too much! So many flipper tracks in the sand.. the sardines must have hyped them up! Seriously though, thanks for the determination you show every time. What a great team you are together. Thank you 🙏
This just makes my heart ache and my blood boil! Humans are causing so much suffering by dumping in the oceans. I’d come to help you gentlemen but the seals are faster than me!😂 words cannot express how FABULOUS you are for helping these beauties❤❤❤❤
It actually brings a tear to my eyes to see not only how hard those little pups fight for survival but also how hard all of you fight to save them...
And bitten!!
YESSS exactly my thoughts too!!!
Same here ❤
OMG you guys are just so great thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Individual recreational fishing should be banned.....
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE BEING RESCUED. PLEASE DO NOT RESIST.
Imagine being the seal: first you get almost strangled, and when you try to hide in the group, they spot exactly you! Ha! But you were lucky and could escape. They must have been distracted by that thing you had around your neck.
What a juggling act! I can't believe you hung on to both of them after they got out of the nets and reached the water, more than once. You guys are truly something!
Juggling act is right. I was laughing and crying with the determination of both sides .
It reminded me of the three stooges! Or a mom with a set of 2 year old triplets!! Lol
The most amazing thing for me was having scissors in one hand and getting bitten he still managed to ctach two seals at the same time without hurting them.
Hahahaaaa!! Slippery little guys!
Such good work I live inland but you have me being really careful about my trash
I am always amazed you can spot the seals that are entangled.
Me too. They have bionic eyesight 😂
They have to have insane vision I agree but I think what their looking at is their fur, they are looking for a division in the fur
The fur around the rope/net/string looks broken where it should be smooth...but still, you need a good eye to spot them.
I'm not sure who had the most determination
OCN team never gives up!!
@@theresaskrzynski9916nether do the seals
❤😂❤
I haven't laughed this hard in a while. The sheer determination of all participants is admirable. Thank you!
The little witches’hats running over the sand really looks hilarious.
Thank you for saving the pups 😍
What heroes you all are! Bless all concerned! 🙏 "Isa"

To the rescuers: I salute you on your efforts. Thank you for caring enough to help like this

This one could have had Benny Hill theme in the background.
'Yakety Sax'. Fyi.😂😂😂😂😂😂
... and this is how seals help to keep Naude fit. 😂
Laughed out loud at this video. Great saves. Well done x
🙂👍
I felt like I watched a rugby match. I truly appreciate your service and compassion.
❤❤❤ And your sheer determination...amazing and inspiring!!! ❤️🥰❤️
Those two little escape artists should get their own magic show in Vegas! 😂❤
🤣
That's exactly what we DON'T want!!
@@arienoordzij3823 right? no more magic shows ugh LMAO
@@arienoordzij3823It was just a joke.

I love how he always calls the little ones...puppy.❤❤❤
Those two escape artists, oh my, they had you puffing! Bless you for all you are doing - total respect.
They really made you work today. So grateful you are helping them.
😅❤
Wow there were so many today! Thank you OCN! Hawain is a great addition to the team!
OMG that rescue is hilarious..😂😂😂❤❤❤ Bunch of little ferocious escape artists... They had you guys running everywhere... Soooo adorable. 😂😍
🙂👍
Laughed a bit at the escape artists, want to cry a bit at the need to rescue them in the first place. Good work guys.
That looks hard work, well done lads! The seals need you, they shouldn't but this is the world we live in sadly😢
Fast reactions needed today. Well done and thank you for saving the seals.
🙂👍
I absolutely LOVE ❤️ listening to Tony talk to the pups! All of these rescuers are so dedicated to saving this sweet animals!!!
All those dead fish is weird.
WOW, those two "escape artists"!! And a bite to go with it! Dang!
That was an ACTIVE day!
I almost think the dead fish are the result of some kind of phenomena. I don't mean anything "supernatural" but possibly a localized tidal wave that happens to catch a large school of fish and dumps them too far ashore for them to return to the water....? That's my guess.

Just Watching, my heart & breathing, are getting a workout❤!!!
You could film it, so the young guys could do the physical work ❤
This is hilarious! 😂 I hope no skin was broken with that bite and you're okay! You all are amazing! ❤

addicted to the way antoine says puppy, so full of love and care despite the exhausting situation. keep doing what yall are doing!!
This is a great video. You’re working so hard to help the little guys survive and they’re fighting so hard not to let you.
I’m exhausted just watching them. God bless you
You guys got your exercise today! If only the seals understood that you are there to help them! Keep up the great work!!!❤
You are real heroes 😍
Thank you so very much❣

Such nasty tangles. But those teeth! Thanks for your tenacity, sirs!
Amist all this chaos, at least the whole Team was there, and not one got away unsaved! Great job OCN! Someone needs to buy you lunch and a beer!

Can't say seals without eels
I have the utmost admiration for all you go through. Those two just did not understand!!!!!

Wow. You needed a hand. Great job keeping a hold of both pups. Bravo.
Good gosh!!! I am very sorry but that was funny! At the same time that was one of the most difficult rescues I've seen! Kudos to you all!!!💪👏
