Rescued Seal Remembers Rescuers?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2024
- It's hard to tell if this female seal really remembered us when we recaptured her to follow up on her healing progress - but once she was allowed out of the rescue net, after Naude had checked up on her, she totally relaxed and "posed" in front of the rescuers, as if she was showing off her old entanglement scar. Maybe she remembered that we helped her, and that we are no threat to her.
Recaptures are very important for Ocean Conservation Namibia, they are the best proof that rescues work, especially when we get our hands on a seal like this. She clearly had a very deep entanglement, and there is no sign of injury left, she is strong and healthy and simply beautiful. 🦭

I guess you guys got the " seal of approval". Great job

Oh, brother...
the fact that you're seeing the same seal a year apart is a clear sign you're doing the right thing
"I'm going to bite you, Naude"
"Ohhh, heyyy Antoine. Some of the girls said you were back. Nice hair cut."
"I'll still bite you Naude....."
you should apply to write the subtitles for OCN
Jajaja. 👍🏾
😉 My thoughts too, only better said ❣️
🤣😂🤣😂
Lol
It's good to see that the rescued seals have healed from their wounds thanks to the OCN team's work.
AMEN
Why don't you put tags or tattoos on them?
@@veramae4098Time, cost... It's also better to let them off free of any form of human pollution, including tags.
I would love it too though, to see them have a follow-up.
She did look like she was remembering them . Oh if only she could talk..what a story she could tell.
We only need to learn understanding her language.
@@Itsjustme-Justme You are so right. Thanks for reminding me that even animals have a "language" We just need to listen
Looked to me more like you had her surrounded and she couldn't go anywhere. She did not look friendly or "remembering" which is wishful thinking on yours and everyone else's part.
She'd be like "damnit, not these guys again" :)
@@dap777754 ME TO !!! LOL
A million seals on a beach and somehow these guys can spot one with a mole on its lip. Amazing. I’m glad there are people like this on the planet.
Yeah, I'd love it if someone here explained how they do that. Thank you in advance
@@SleekHeroo Only an assumption, but I would guess binoculars?
It's wonderful to see proof, in the flesh, that even a very badly wounded seal can heal and thrive once their entanglement is removed. Thank you so very much for saving so many seals like this lovely lady!
Makes me so happy to see this ❣️
Right on! Aunt Kaz!
They should have brought a fish along to calm him down and make known that they mean no harm.
@@rodenreyes6320 Sorry, the cutting of these entanglements really are necessary. Because in many cases, they are inhibiting the seals' ability to move and feed. Sometimes, the fishing lines and hooks and plastics
are wrapped around the mouth , jaw or upper chest . How are the OCN team members supposed to pry open a seal's mouth to force feed a fish ? If a seal is in " fight or flight mode " from stress, they are not going to want to eat. Also, the OCN team member, could sustain an injury or infection or amputation of a finger (s). These seals are not dogs or animals being trained with positive reinforcement
@@rodenreyes6320 Sadly that wouldn't have worked. For one thing, the seals are wild and view humans as a potential predator, so they are in fight or flight mode the second you get too close. For another, it is actually illegal to feed most large wildlife, as we don't want them to become habituated to us.
She was like , "How dare you... Oh- it's you guys. Hello. Thank you. See my neck? It feels much better and it's healing well 😌 Thank you for freeing me. I appreciate you. Truly. Xxxx Okay bye xxx" ! Xxxx
"Maaan what the fu- who the hell do you guys think you are putting my in your net you better let me g- wait... Naude? Tony? Tssk maaaaan you guys bout dun gave me a heart attack don't do that sh-"
😂😆 bruhh love it
😂😆
Yes! 🦭🦭🦭🕊️🕊️🕊️😍😍😍
I read this whole message in ozzy man reviews voice. Epic
😆😆😆
These are the most awesome nets. Thank you to whomever designed them in order to make rescues easier and safer for all. ❤️
I was just thinking that, it’s not like you can walk into Walmart and ask for a seal net?
@@4loops43 I think they are custom built.
If they aren't custom designs, I wouldn't be surprised if they were originally meant for hunting seals and adapted for this preferable purpose.
I totally agree with this comment - Thanks So Very Much
they are really cool and gentle looking nets, well degined indeed!
If a tiger shark can return to one female diver 7 times to get a hook removed, it is definitely within the realm of possibility for these animals to learn that you guys are there to help. I guess it's just going to take a lot of time. She's lovely!
the tiger shark didn't get physically captured and roughly tackled in order to remove those hooks. that's why it keeps coming back.
@@thehulk86 yeah fr man they should just let them die from wounds instead of slightly inconveniencing them...
@@thehulk86 sharks have mutual relationships with other species who will give them a good service when those pesky parasites start itching, it would make sense that at least a small minority of those sharks would have the ability to explore and develop new similar behaviours. i agree with you that the stress of capture is likely too much for these seals to willingly comply. maybe after several generations they will accept it more and adapt their behaviour.
@@braveheart4603 possibly, but it's highly unlikely as seals probably aren't capable of that kind of generational learning. Plus since only a tiny fraction of these seal colonies ever have a single direct interaction with the rescuers, there's virtually no opportunity to build trust between both sides.
I need the link, I want to see it
You know you are making progress when you start recapturing seals you've previously saved👍
Must be very rewarding to see up close the fruits of your labors. Thank you everyone!
It really is! Thanks for watching and caring!
You do amazing work thank you so much!😘❤
You guy's are amazing !!!! Thank you so much 🥰 May my father GOD bless you all. ❤️🙌🙏💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋!!!!!!!!
Maybe she had a moment of deja vu lol. like waiiiittttt didn't this already happen to me? With you people? didn't we do this before? WHAT IS GOING ON!! Lol
Antoine comforting each capture with his calm words or his touch is really touching. 😊
Talking to her and the petting “it’s okay” warms the heart. Love what y’all are doing... thank you so much
God has a special place in Heaven for these people
@@nunyabiznes5792... AMEN TO THAT, NUNYA!!!💖😃😍🤗😙😉... TRUE EARTH🌎ANGELS😇!!!💖😍🤗
@@nunyabiznes5792 Pls don't make this religious.
@@Dreagostini Allahu Akbar to you
@@nunyabiznes5792 Well, that's just like your opinion, man.
The seal remembered the last time it came out of the net and calmed down right away. Wish they could tell the other seals that these guys are just there to help!
Maybe they can. Cristina Zenato’s reef sharks can. And with their sheep noises, the seals are quite vocal. That must mean something, right?
Crows do it all the time. You befriend one crow you befriend an entire murder. On the other hand, you anger one crow all their buddies will hate you for at least the next 10 years.
Love how Antoine always tried to soothe the animals. Thanks to the team for your great work!!
I was thinking the same thing " its ok buddy its going to be ok"
Right!!??... Absolutely Love to Hear and See Antoine talk to the Seals and Rubba Love'em at the same time!!!💖😃😍🤗😙😉....
"It's OK Puppy"!!... "Don't be Afraid "!!... "Awwwe, I See Your Tears... Please Don't Cry"!!... "It's Alright"!!... "No No Puppy... Don't Bite"!!... "We're Not going to Hurt You"!!... "We're here to help you"!!!... "Your gonna be much better, You'll See"!!!💖😍🤗😙😉....
I Truly Missed him!!!... And Sooo Happy He's Back!!!💖😍🤗... The Entire Team are Truly Earth🌎Angels😇!!!... GOD LOVE THEM ALL AND BLESS AND PROTECT THEM ALWAYS!!!💖😍🤗... AMEN!!!💖😇😉
Soothe? Every touch is adding to her stress, especially rubbing or patting. Please stop anthropomorphizing animals.
@@virginiamoss7045 There are plenty of animals that respond positively to rubbing, especially mammals as for most mammals, that will remind them of being bathed by their mothers when they’re young. Just without the wetness that would normally accompany the rubbing motion.
@@decimation9780 This is true when the animal trusts the one doing the petting, certainly not when wild prey animals are being captured to be lunch as the seal sees it. Cats and others are calmed by creating all around pressure which unconsciously reminds them of being in the womb. That doesn't seem to be the case with seals, but it sure would make these captures less stressful for all involved if it was.
You guys are some of the best people here on earth. Thank you for all that you do for these seals!
AMEN TO THIS COMMENT FOR SURE - YOU GUYS ARE TRUE ANGELS - THANKS SO VERY MUCH
Loved to see the "after" shot of that full recovery, and that "rememberance" moment was pure gold.
I'm glad you don't resort to drugs and trust Nature's healing force!
Finally, thanks!
So many animals are suffered from ocean waste like nets, ropes and plastic products. You did great job. Thank you guys from 🇰🇷
So true!!! Thanks for watching!
get out there worldwide people and clean up the mess. we do here in new zealand. to save sea life like these seals.
I called this. Seals are intelligent. They remember and communicate to others.
Remember when I escaped from certain death when I got captured by gigantic apes?
Well it happened again, I shall remain victorious!
@@xantiom cats and dogs must naturally dislike you
@@xantiom yeah. Animals dislike you.
She's BEAUTIFUL even with that scar. I like to see a recapture upload once in a while because I think recaptures are clear evidence that your rescue efforts are making great differences.
We totally agree! Thanks!
She remembers and thanks you 💖. We all thank you for caring and saving these beautiful seals. I just wish the fisherman would be responsible and care about the animals of the seas
She was like, “ I’m surrounded by some of the best humans in the world!!” She was star struck🤩🥳🥰 Plus she saw that Tony was back! ❤️❤️❤️
no, she was looking for an escape route, the group had her kind of surrounded upon release
She didn't like the odds of 4 or 5 people standing around her in a circle, so she was waiting to see who would move first.
I don't know. I think she just wanted sardine treat or something ;-)
She returned to show you all your hard work has great results. That must of felt good. For you and a result for the seal. Who took a bow then left.👏✂️👣👍🌟
Yes! Thank you!
She did remember you! That you helped her feel better and let her free!
More like she was literally surrounded by all sides, looking for an exit. Snarled aggressively and ran through.
Wow, I had missed that one! Yes, I think she definitely remembered you. And it’s great to see Antoine was back. Congratulations OCN, you are such a great team.
Her wound reminded me of my old rescue dog, Molly. Molly was found with an embedded collar that had to be surgically removed, and though it was healed by the time I adopted her, she had an indentation around her neck that you could see immediately. She was a little sensitive too, when I stroked her neck, perhaps she remembered the pain of the collar, but she lived a good life with me and was a happy puppy. Thank you for checking up on these guys!
Thank you for giving her the love she deserved.
I worked with shelter dogs and I remember similar cases. Fair play for giving her a good life!
Her scar was probably super sensitive.
Thank you for showing a healed seal. I've often wondered what the injuries look like after a rescue. ❤
She remembers you guys and she remembers Tony gave her back rub too good job , big thanks to the team
More like she was literally surrounded by all sides, looking for an exit. Snarled aggressively and ran through.
Some people like to think that animals do not have souls. They do. Very much so. They grieve just like we do. They play. They love their babies and they cry when they are hurt or sad. I’ve seen it. This Seal was scared. No doubt…but she realized that you guys probably saved her life once. In her own way she was thanking you for helping her.
We all thank you.
That seal and many others are alive and well, and not dying in a torturous way because of all your work, I’m proud to wear a shirt from your organization, thanks.
These are sea lions lol
@@brucesmith1544 Yes, nature sucks but chocked or cut by a fishing line because you grew into it is a miserable way to live. Killed by a predator is much faster
@@brucesmith1544 different animals same family
Lol
@@tommytube268 ... we are the predators.
@@smallfootprint2961
Yea its kinda weird to think about
Oh my goodness,that was really stunning and quite poignant,I really think she remembered all of you God bless you for all you to save our marine life🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
She remembered you and wanted to to thank you for saving her 🦭
It looked like she felt cornered when she saw them surrounded around her, but nonetheless she scurried off when they seemed harmless. Great job 👏🏾
They don't appear to stop to think about being cornered, they usually barrel right through in a panic, no matter what. So the fact that she stopped and looked around meant that she was interested in them, and perhaps recognized their voices and possibly faces. Voices for sure.
What a beautiful moment she definitely remembered being freed from pain ! Thank you for your hard work
@Klemheist 100%. But that is isn't the feel good concept people want to accept.
@Klemheist still a bit defensive but not panicked.
Conflicting emotions.
@Klemheist Yeah, I think since they had her surrounded, she didn't know which way to go, so she was just standing her ground for a second. But im so happy to see she's all healed up
They have a terrific sense of smell, so there is some chance that once free of the net, the rescuers smelled "familiar". Ans on land they can hear 1 to 22.5 kHz. It did seem, for a beautiful moment, that she felt calm.
Omg that is amazing .who says the animals don't know and feel just like us? You guys made our Sunday .. Thank you so much. NYC ..one
They dont do it in every single way....sure some but not all.....
@@phoenixflamegames1 We don't know what they feel and what they don't... not to mention that humans feel things differently.
Thanks a million for your kindness. God bless you.
Good to see they are healing up well.
It's nice to see what it looks like on a recapture.
Awwww, love Antoine saying: 'That's Ok'. Thanks, OCN!!!!
So sweet when they stay a little ❤️ thank you for showing us, that the wound is healing well 😊 greetings from Germany to all 🙋🏻😊
Love you pfp 😳😊.
Greeting from New Zealand to Germany 😊
@@hiighway7570 thanks and greetings to New Zealand 🙋🏻😊
hi Hendrik... 🙋🏼♀️😄
@@TheFelifa hi 🙋🏻😄
Makes me feel proud watching your professional devotion to the aiding and protection of beautiful and innocent mammals. Bravo to You and all of your Kind. Keep up the Good work you Stars.
Just as the caption said, she remembered everyone. Beautiful animal and the wound is looking really great. Thanks, guys & gal.
More like she was literally surrounded by all sides, looking for an exit. Snarled aggressively and ran through.
it said maybe, not definetly. When they cut off seals, they look for another direction. If they surround them, they look around for an exit
@@gumbo34 Spoilsport. It's much more fun to anthropomorphize them. Besides, they are very intelligent.
It’s a Seal with a kiss of gratitude
Tq rescuers! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
You two's kindness save this seal , her subconscious has already deeply remembered you. 💗
I’m so proud of you good people and the example you set for us all, I tell everyone about your work.
“Is that you Tony? I didn’t recognize you with your new hair style!” She said 😂😂
These humans all look alike to the seals. 😁
Thank you. May God bless you.... South Koreaa ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
God bless this rescuers
Thanks for all your kindness 🙏🙏
Those deep wounds are a danger to their lives - great work OCN!
You guys are the greatest. Thank you for all you do to help these little creatures survive and recover from what would be a long, painful death.
Love seeing this!!
So do we!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️not enough words to say how great you guys are!!! Thank you for helping the seals!!!!!
This is a good way to start my Sunday. Glad she has healed well from her old injury which was obviously quite serious at the time.
I love your compassion and dedication to helping these animals, who have been injured (and regularly perish) due to the ignorance and laziness of humans. Great job team! 👊🏼💙❤️💫
Tony has such a loving way with the seals. Thank you Tony for coming back🤗🤗
This would be a great cartoon to teach little kids (big kids)about littering and what happens to the sea life. They could all have names with families. And all you guys would be the hero’s of the show.
No mames! Una belleza que haya sanado de esa forma e incluso haya recordado a la gente que la ayudó.
Uuuuf! Beautyful that she has healed and recording The people who's help her.
Yeah!!🤙🏾
She is like here we go again daam. Why always me 😂😂
Good news! Thanks, guys. 🌈
They will know you lovely guys😍😍😍👍
at 0:45 Antoine was doing 'run with the seals', so cute.
Wonderful people.
That will be the day we all love to see. That every seal with an 'entanglement' captured is an already rescued one like this one. But till that day: keep up the good work!
subscriber remembered this channel after a long time not watching
Me too
welcome back VIVID
VIVIDRAGE Same.
Welcome back
Thankyou for what you do to help these beautiful creatures. God bless you all ❤
I "'ll bet she remembers you guys. It must have left a very deep impression, for her to calm down down.
God Bless you men!
❤😊 and kisses for all the seals you save.!
Great to see how she healed up.
You guys are. Amazing,thank you for helping these beautiful animals with out you they would suffer terribly much lv Ann uk
She really did remember - 👍
So good to see that these seals can be successfully saved. All the best to everyone.
No doubt in my mind that she remembered you guys! She was saying thank you! That entanglement surely would have been fatal for her if not for you! I am so happy to see the wonderful outcome of all your hard work. You really are heroes! 🦭❤️🙏♻️
The running with the seals. Brilliant.
Awesome to see a recapture that has healed well. She looks like a very healthy seal now. Thanks to you guys! Must be super rewarding for you to see. :)
heroic. and she seems to remember you. oh my heros...i love them.
It's good to see how the seals heal after you freed them from trash. I really enjoy the videos. Thanks for what you do and educating me. Stay safe.
Thank u beautiful people who volunteer to save the seals & God's creatures. Much Light, Love, peace, & energy to you all.
Wonderful rescue of beautiful animals. You should get a renowned prize for all you have done and continue to do. ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Love it!
So glad!
Even seal recognized those who saved her life and being thankful for that..human rarely did that...sigh...thank you team...no words can express how precious yout works toward these beautiful mamals...
Ребята , он поблагодарил вас за помощь. Какое благодарное животное. И мы вас благодарим ,что спасаете природу. И в этом случае ,так опасно. Ведь они могут укусить .
Но вы СПЕЦИАЛИСТЫ , И Бог вас благодарит также.
Люди " Творите добро и получите жизнь вечную на земле" Сказал наш Спаситель Иисус Христос.
"Не погублю землю ,а погублю губивших землю".
It's so worth it.to help these animals.but It's so sad to see how scared they.get. They are.so cumbersome on.land.
Never stop though. Thank God you aren't hurting them but definitely making their lives.better.
So so good to see her wound heal ....all thanks to u guys 🙏🙏🙏
People around the world are doing wonderful things. Thank you
Very good to see a follow up. I figured the salt water would help wounds suffered by seals very quickly, and you've confirmed they do heal up rather quick. Nicely done all the way around all.
Huge respect and appreciation for what you guys do.
I dare say the seal was surrounded, not recognising you... sorry, but the slight hissing and the immediate run when seeing the escape route ;)
Regardless, you guys are awesome. While I'm unable to do anything more to help, I will give a thank you, and hope to support more financially when I'm able to... again, thank you :)
From my perspective of the video, she was facing a clear (and wide) line of escape but gazed BACK at her rescuers - calmly and without fear as well. To my mind, she clearly remembered her rescuers.
You guys are real life heroes. God bless you and your work.
Great to see you Antoine. Showing the good deeds you all do for the meek.❤️🙏🏼👍💪
God bless y’all what you do is wonderful Thank you so much
Wow she's really grateful to you, so as I am
It’s so great to see the seals are able to heal after a horrible entanglement is removed. Keep on saving these beautiful animals.
I know a man who gives sanctuary to hunted boars near his cottage in the woods. Sometimes he provides the only food source to those who were shot but survived and need time to heal. You'd think the boars are goners, surely they will later trust the wrong human and get shot. Not so. They know exactly who is who in the forest and recognise the man by sight and smell, they even know his car. It's indeed possible that the seal recognizes the team.
You people are Truly Angels!
Great respect for you guys. This is sort of people we need. I really love and admire your work. Keep it up!!😀
