Cutest Baby Seal Ever Disrupts Rescue

  • Wally and Naude from Ocean Conservation Namibia had a slow day at Cape Cross with only 2 rescues done. They were feeling a little despondent, but all that changed during the second rescue. While they were busy freeing a tiny pup from some binding material, another little pup approached them curiously and would not leave! They were cautious at first, as these guys are prone to biting, but soon realised that he came with no aggressive agenda. He just wanted to say hi and get to know the team:) 🦭

      It is sad, yet perfectly normal, in colonies of tens of thousand pinnipeds to see dead bodies 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.

    • @genekisayan6564
      @genekisayan6564 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

      Mother nature doesn't throw anything at all. The traits appear completely randomly over generations. Under the environment's pressure they are selected and the fittest stays along the way passing down the same mutation to future calfs. Btw it has already happened in the past that a mutation occurred and widely spread across the population, canceling a useful mutation that was allowing those species to survive in it, or at least was usefull in a way but not indispensable. A straight example is our eyes. Lots of mamals used to have more than 4 iris battons (don t remember exactly the scientific term), which would have allowed us to perceive a wider spectrum of the light. But unfortunately we, and other apes, lost it, resulting into narrowing our range of light wave perception😢

    • @moojuice369
      @moojuice369 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      @@genekisayan6564 why do traits appear completely random over generations then, isn’t it to pass better traits along to the species for their future survival if that particular trait allows for better survival for the species. I think you took the word “throws” too literally. Apparently having 4 iris battons as you state was not useful enough and so was not retained in our genetic pool. 🙄

      @@moojuice369 It's too bad, because I'd love to see into different spectrums of light and have even more colors to gawk at.
      But anyways, traits don't really appear 'completely randomly,' rather certain minute changes that suit the environment more tend to result in improved procreation, as those with the changed traits outcompete their competitors either via food and/or mating. As a result of this specialization, species tend to develop their own niches. Honestly, evolution's incredible, and I just love examining/imagining how things have changed over the millenia.
      Sadly, none of us live that long, and the best examples we get of "real-time" evolution tends to be in bacteria and viruses. :(

    I know this is old but maybe there is explanation of why some seals have this odd behavior.
    1. It's nothing other then just curiosity.
    2. The seal had encounter other humans that either were friendly to him or saved their live.
    3. Option 2 but with the parent that probably taught its pup to like humans.
    Good job on not giving them affection otherwise they could up being hurt by someone malicious.

    They're the dogs of the ocean. And if we were water-people, we'd keep them as pets.
    It breaks my heart to see our garbage hurting them so badly. It is my most fervent hope that humans will come to understand that we are THE keystone species on this planet, and that we are capable of always working with nature, rather than against it, and that one day we will undo much of the harm we have wrought on the other species of this world. You are a fine example of what being a keystone species is all about: helping to recognise and undo the harm we cause as a species. Taking responsibility for a small part of it, and doing your best for our animal friends. Thank you very kindly.
