Baby Seal Relaxes After His Rescue at Cape Cross
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2020
- This seal rescue took place at Cape Cross, Namibia. Cape Cross is one of the worlds largest seal colonies, and can hold up to 400 000 Cape Fur Seals at the height of breeding season in December.
The plan was not actually to rescue seals on this day, but rather to just observe. This however changed when Naude and Katja noticed many entangled animals, and decided to help one that was close to the walkway leading through the colony.
Naude jumped over the fence and easily managed to restrain the young male. This poor animal had multiple loops of thin fishing line cutting into his skin around his neck, and also through his mouth. It took a little while, but Naude managed to cut all the lines and let the animal go again. Contrary to how the seals behave at Pelican Point, this group are quite calm, and some even walked closer while Naude was busy cutting the pup free.
Once the pup ran off, he didn't go straight for the ocean like at Pelican Point, but rather ran up to some of his friends and just stood around, as if nothing had ever happened. 🦭

It's just me or a seal colony sounds just like a giant mix of screaming cows, goats, ducks and donkeys ?
"MMMMMMMeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" :-)
Yes, and lambs baying too. A terrific cacophony of sounds.
@@qwertydelegator5513 enlightening. now i see where the name came from... because in indonesia, we also called it sea dogs (anjing laut)
and sheep
Yes, all cuteness combined into one creature, the sea doggo
Seal “you’re the guy that robbed Julius...”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAO
LMAO!!!! :) :)
Lmao I remembered Julius
I get this joke!
I used to be a fan, but after seeing this
masterpiece, I'm a whole air conditioner.
Cool!
@@jeanmm2996 🤣
That’s a great Dad joke!!!
👏
I made that joke up from scratch 2 months ago. It’s jarring to see it used 4 months ago
Can you just imagine what that experience did for your kids? No matter what you do for the rest of your life, you will always be a hero in their eyes. Well done sir.
In the future:-
Seal 1. "Where you going?"
Seal 2 " Heard Naude is in the area and I've got this thing in my mouth . Catch you later ".
This screams underrated
There's a doctor in the house! ⚕️ 🐳
Ha! That's almost exactly what I was thinking! Someday they're going to pull up to the favorite beach and 200 seals are going to be waiting for them.
@@seadog915 I envision them all forming a line for a check up
I don't understand this trend to make animals look like humans.
Seals do NOT speak like this, it should have been:
Seal 2 "Hea'd Naud ishin a'rea and I've 'ot shis shin in my mouch. Cash you la'er".
Hey, legit: if no one has said it, “Thank you for the work you do and the poor sea doggies you save”. Thank you so much
No worries, A LOT of people have said that. It's a good thing.
"Sea Doggies" 😂
But some you tube viewers watching and offer some make money from TH-cam
Yer thanks dude you are inspiring!
@@ghazihatk340 That's what they are called in my language (Dutch). "zeehond" literally meaning seadog.
Naude, that was great having your children see their father doing such a noble thing. Way to go Dad! I know your wife must be proud too.
Seal pup: "I know who you are. I saw you here before. I stay calm. I even close my eyes for you. What ever you do, it feels soo good."
When you stepped over the railing, the Seal was like: he is not coming........
oh shit he comes
oh Naude he comin
The seals are like "This is the last time we're coming to this human exhibit!"
Lawd neptune help us all!
4:38 is it me, or does the seal look like it's upside down?
The Park Guard thinking: "What the hell is that man doing?". The public on the walkway: "That's the world-famous seal-rescuer Naude. And the seals already know him! " Good job as always! And grateful as usual!
Was thinking the same. Can you imagine him going on with a tourist group tour somewhere and he does this?
TheBooban How could he not?
It's like Fred from Scooby Doo, wherever there's a mystery he just has to go solve it! :)
@@TheBooban i was watching one of his vids - can't remember which - he's there with his family, talking with them and like mid-word, he changes to "be right back" & he's away to detangle someone!
Wonder if his wife feels a little like Lois Lane...Only Naude doesn't step into a 'phone booth to change; he just *_IS._*
The parked vehicle was probably Naude's ?
This is what compassion is all about. Didn't plan on working the heard today but you couldn't leave this little fellow in misery. You are the best.
Agreed!!
It’s telling how he had his gloves and tools with him too! The seals are never far from his mind.
I know Naude's family is so proud of their Pop. After watching these videos, I've come to love Naude's soothing and calming voice saying sweet encouraging things to these poor frightened seals. Sometimes it seems they know the team is there to help, being calm and cooperative through the sometimes painful process. I just purchased some merchandise and will continue in the future to support the teams endeavors. This fan is eternally grateful to OCN for making such a difference in this marine world. THANK YOU!!!
2:30 The seals watching from a "safe" distance what happens to their buddy is absolutely adorable.
Yeah, I am so waiting for us to be able to read seal minds. Were they like "Well, Phil is a bit of an ass, I understand why he is messing with him" or "Oh my goodness, we need to witness this, remember this day pups, the day we strike back...or maybe the day before we strike back. What the hell is he...pups look away, get off Phil you animal!"
I think their reaction is similar to ours if we were to see someone with two heads walking by. They just don’t see a seal getting ambushed by a tall, slim colorful predator every day, so if it’s going to be a train wreck, you better be there to witness it.
It's very curious!
I love how they run when the baby is freed and runs off too, lol.
Jus' blubber-necking.
Those seals were like he’s not getting over the fence is he... You better believe it guys cus here he comes. Great work Naude.
😂 yes that’s totally what the seals thought 💭
Jesus Greenblatt
The next step would be for Naude and Denzil to fly in with wing suits on from 5 miles out and silently swoop on in. 🙂✌️
I like how all the people and all the seals were standing around going "Hey, get a load of this! He's got Junior in a headlock and he's cutting lines! I've seen it all now!"
Great job👍. Very well done. Nice to see your family.
It's always amazing how fast they can find their family in the sea of seal faces.
I bet they think the same about us XD
@@magnarcreed3801 Sealtube: It’s always amazing how fast they can find their family in the sea of hooman faces.
@@leangminhlong5422 haha lol
You white dudes all look the same. Lol
Not really. They'd probably say the same thing about us.
I'm so glad you kept taping after the release so we could see the pup with the colony. Those are such fascinating shots! Thanks so much for this solo rescue, it obviously was not an easy one and the pup had to have been in much pain. Bless!
Everyone has a cause and a purpose in life, yours is noble and looks fun too.....
the only kind of hunting i will accept.
Definitely keeps them in good shape too! Great service to the seals and the African continent.✌🏾
@@bendixtrinity I don’t know who would have the heart to hunt a seal unless it was some kind of cultural tradition
I disagree Mark. I see no purpose for Donald Trump. 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
@@bendixtrinity In some cases, hunting is necessary.
I love the aftermath when the seal returns to his friends, which is normally not in other videos.
I liked the fact that all those seals sound like a bunch of sheep mixed in with some humans trying to imitate sheep.
@@spacecowboy8295 haa haa, true ! and this guy is very cool for taking that fishing line off that pup ! it was probably hurting like hell !!
That's what I call a real strong MAN to do what he does. God bless this man and his family. Thank you for saving this little guy's life. You are truly a HERO!
Naude is either crazy or brave as hell to run out there alone to rescue that pup with no one but his wife and kids on the walkway to watch his back should the others get feisty. Bravo for taking him on by yourself though. Well done!
Good job in helping these Seals. If they could they would thank you
He's got daddy dna, the good stuff
I was rocking in my seat watching that rescue......as I do with many of them. To see that little seal scurry away is untold joy in my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
You and us both! It is our favourite part of every rescue..
The girl shouting.....Nice, daddy!
She is so proud of her father.....so sweet.
I'm proud of her father!
I'd be so proud of my daddy too if he did that! What a wonderful memory of her dad and how he is a HERO.
bloody wonderful isnt it
sounded like 'nagypapa' to me, which is grandfather in Hungarian. obviously why should she say that, but it's still strange
Am I the only one that straight legit cries seeing every rescue?! What a sweet moment for his family. (Man and seal) ❤ love, love what you all do! Never stop..
The patience, skill and compassion you guys display restores my faith in humankind.
We need this example of humanity now more than ever.
Naude, your children must be so proud that you're their Dad! 💗
can you imagine at school for parent's day?! It's like introducing Superman as your dad!
@@id10t98 I wouldn't want to be an Accountant following Naude as a speaker on Career Day, that's for sure. 🖊🗒📈
Accountant is good enough. It’s just that Superman is way better than any other ordinary dad.
@@goldendelicious3581 I wasn't taking a swipe at accountants. I've spent a great deal of my career doing paperwork. But it never gave me the rush just 'watching' these mad rescuers, does . . . 😲
Scared seal: “uh uh uh uh”
Other seals: “UHHH”
“AAehhh!”
“EHhh”
I love this comment 🤣🤣
It's like a bunch of American Italians. 🤣
rolandet 🤣🤣❤️
😂
Bro I thought someone laughing in deepvoice lol
I can't help thinking how pleased Almighty God is with these wonderful seal rescuers God bless them all aameen
I'm amazed at how well you can spot an entagled pup in a huge pack like that. Love this channel. (Just found it) Makes me wish I took a different career path. This must be so fulfilling.
I discovered this channel a year ago and it still amazes me!
I am totally in agreement. When my life gets difficult I always turn to the Ocean Conversation Namibia and watch fur babies and mamas and it makes me
feel better.
So used to seeing them dart off to the water. It as nice seeing the extended footage of him realising he is now ok. Thank you
to far from water
Interesting how the colony is watching so closely. Another job well done.
A single handed rescue! Well done you! I think he knew you wouldn’t hurt him. My God that’s got to hurt! Thank you for the rescue!
♥️🦭♥️
The other seals are calm as I bet, I absolutely bet, they know what is happening. What a great guy. ♥️
“Nice Pappa!” Nice job raising our next generation, Pappa!
I shudder to think of his fate without your intervention. Thank you for being steadfast in your attention to their plight.
Agree.
Absolutely
That was a tough solo rescue but as always you nailed it! 🙏
I am new to your channel and think you are a blessing to the seals. I have been binge watching your videos and your kindness to these beautiful creatures is beyond words. Thank you.
Too funny when the seals line up to look whats going on.
Funny until a bull decides to come get his kid.
Seal returns to his family.
Family: "Yeah we know Naude, he's pinned us all down atleast once"
Good one! Very funny!!! LOL. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
The rest of the colony is calm because word has spread that you're one of the GOOD guys... SAVING their families!!! 😇👍👏👏👏
So very nice the Naude's family got to see him in action. Well done.
Their noise is like duck, cow and sheep combined😂❤
They travel a lot thats why multi language animal.
@@bambinoboyz1 😂
😂
They are mimicking
It’s pretty cute for seal
When the seals eventually realise that the guy is not out to hurt them but actually help them, they will be queuing up for his services. He should put a sign up saying, ‘Get your unwanted fishing line removed here, please queue single file’.
1 fish for service lol
Lool that would be hilarious. If he started giving out fishes they might, but then he might get swarmed by 100s of them. Maybe a tiny fishy treat when they get free? They're obviously starting to get used to his presence now
Queue, the only word thats a consonant followed by a bunch of silent vowels.
@@applepie9806 or the seal has to give the human 1 fish per service
I was just thinking the seals watching be like, “Hey think we should go tell him about Martha?”
Вы занимаетесь очень благородным делом! Спасибо вам огромное!!!
Tears came... you’re making so important job guys!!! I’m appreciate it so much....
What is soooo sad we trashed whole planet and animals are suffering 😔
Now his mouth can heal. That must have been painful. Thank you for caring about the poor thing.
Yes.
Too cute, Naude was the center of attention, family and seals.
I can appreciate that your children got to see you save the seal 🦭! Teaching them to respect & love our animals! I’m sure that will spark a light of inspiration for them as they move through life into adulthood. Thank you for that!
Much Luv from 🇨🇦
Hello...So nice to see your family. Its good that your children can see the valuable work you do to save these seals from the damage that's done to them and often times ends up killing these poor animals by people dumping trash etc. in the ocean Thank You for the work you and your friends do each day. God Bless You. LuvYa! Bye from Ohio USA 🇺🇸
Not all heroes wear capes! There’s a special place in heaven reserved, just for you guys! Keep it up! Love from india 🇮🇳
they are the most blessed souls...no rebirth for them ever...:)
I wonder if they realise that you’ve helped them and wasn’t trying to hurt them. You do a wonderful job.
they arent that smart
That's human thinking, most animals are 100% self preservation, no emotion when it comes to the unknown.
I suppose once the entanglement is off and they experience relief, they know that something good was done. At least for that brief second, they remember that a weird thing offered relief but then they probably forget afterward.
@@ewaleokadia76 The only one I have seen is one seal that was struggling to breathe the line had become so tight, I'm sure that seal would have noticed the moment breathing became easy again.
@@markmark5269 Yes, for that brief moment they remember but, when things are going well again, it is as if nothing ever happened.
This man and the whole rescue team are the most efficient and visibly compassionate rescuers I have ever seen. They take their time to be gentle, yet understand they have to work quickly for the sake of the seals.
This man is my hero. The strength it takes is beyond most men. What a super video. I wish everyone should see this. Thank you.
The cuts are very deep 😔 i hope he recovers. Thank you for the great rescue ❤️
I believe these animals are terrified at first but realize later that humans are here to help them. I thank you so much for that!
*THERE MUST BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED. GOD BLESS YOU !!!*
Your efforts to save seals that have become entangled in fishing lines are greatly appreciated, and I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done.
Hero’s never truly take a day off✌️❤️
It would be cool if the seals learned to seek out rescuers when caught in fishing line.
I know what you mean, but through history it’s generally not a good idea for animals to seek out humans. This guy is an exception.
@@sfjlfkjsdlfkjds cats on the other hand are smol house tigers 😻
@@sfjlfkjsdlfkjds and some went extinct
I don't think seals are smart enough. Now Cetaceans on the other hand.
@@amandagarcia2848 yea there have been cases of cetaceans being quite still for humans who approach to help with an entanglement, and I remember a video of a whale jumping for joy after being freed. They definitely know.
I'd imagine this Rescuer will have a million Seals surrounding him shuffling in escort with him, when its his time to cross over that Rainbow Bridge to Heaven!! A Long Life to you Sir!
Thank you!! Blessings to you and your family!! So grateful for all you do 💯❤
My favourite part...."nice one Papa!!" 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜
Pup friends: What happened there!?
Pup: I dunno man! That hooman just sits on top of me and I can breath easily after that!
Pup friend: Woah! We gonna tell the others that hoomans have magic!
@@frankkent4434 wtf did you even write?

Well done doing it solo! Thanks to family for taking the video! God bless you ❤️ from Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape South Africa 🇿🇦
People like you are true heroes. Thank you for all you do.
me chasing down the people who disliked: why are you running
😂
I’ll help you!
*pulls out net* come on boy, I ain't gonna hurt ya
That's funny.
😂😂
Love how he ran back to his family
wasnt his family , it was only looking back at the Threat
I've just come upon the rescue of Seals. NAUDE THANK YOU FOR EVERY energetic EFFORT u put forth TO SAVE THESE PRECIOUS ,CREATED ONES. YOUR HEART IS SO CONCERING AND CLEAN!!! THESE ANIMALS NEED YOUR LOVE. ITS SORROWFUL TO SEE THE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS OF THEM UNTIL RESCUED!!! 👍🎺🙆♀️💜💋thank you, thankyou ,thankyou. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Thank you for helping that baby seal. God bless you and your family.
I love that seal at 5:17 using the rock as a pillow, he looks up for a second to see what all the fuss is about and then goes back to sleep.
I went back to spot that and I think she's nursing her pup there! Nice!
That's my incarnation 😂
I noticed her as well. So unbothered 😄💛🦭
There's nothing more comfortable than a rock pillow.
She knew the two legged animals were no threat.
Hopefully they’ll be telling stories about your kindness for generations throughout the great herds.
they already are: “BLEEEEAAAGHHHH!”
GOOD LORD! That was so painful looking. Thank you Naud. So sweet how it ran back to family and looked back at you. Hope it stays away from fishing line forever after that!
I truly believe that God has mercy on his animal kingdom and sends his wonderful human angels to the earth to help these beautiful animals. Bless you and thank you! 🤗💖🏆👍
Its Awesome that his kids get to see what he does and Naude's wife already knows her husband has a Great heart✌💙
Beautiful ❤️wish my husband had a heart like Naude’s
@@jessicaagosto3633 This is a good simple act, if you add this to your husbands acts, it doesnt add much, although for one to seek out doing such things will improve him, this alone does not make one that decent, not hating when being spited upon is a much better trait few have, still loving whilst being spited upon is too.
Helping animals is close to the most easy thing that is deemed as good anyone can do, but people are in certain positions and even possibly a priveledged position to do so. Im sure youd do the same if you live near a beach and didnt need to work a reguliar average job.
Im just stating this, but i dont know your life circumstances.
Good luck with our Lord and master, May Christ save you. Love the subscribed music.
Crazy how differently they behave at the different spots! So much more used to humans.
Thank you guys
For the honorable work you do, may God bless you all!
God's BLESSINGS on you and yours
Thank you for saving them!
"Hmm, it doesn't look like he's being eaten."
"Yeah, weird, isn't it?"
“Hey he let him go for some reason”
All the seals were watching you as if they were saying ',if he hurts the little guy ,we can take him .'......LOL ....thank you for your kindness .
Honestly if the seals realized that humans would be fucked, yeah we could kill them, but save them I think we would be pretty helpless at that point.
That was incredible!!! Always tears of pure joy to see the seal scamper away!!
Lovely family you have, and the baby seal, too!💖
You have made such a huge difference in that little ones health. Wonderful. Thank you 🙏
0:41 seal on right : uh he’s not going for me I’m staying right here
good eyes
😊👏👏 he is probably telling his family how nice he feels after that neck choke is removed. You are God Sent for these guys. Keep up the good work 😊👍
After watching many of these rescue/saving seals videos, I just want to say:
Naude seems to be one of those extra super humans lol. Or has higher IQ than average.
While watching him run, catch, etc , viewers don't need to ever yell "Hurry! Faster!" Because he's quicker & smoother than our minds putting thoughts together 😅. He doesn't stumble & isn't a fumbley guy, just has good coordination.
These guys are just awesome.
Watched this again today. It is SO OBVIOUS how much you care by the gental and calming way you talk to them. Blessings.
2:36 Those Seal onlookers are like “hey isn’t that our favorite TH-camr? What’s he doing on Greg’s back?”
maybe they think, hey we out number this dude, someone go first and I follow........... Anyone?
@@traida111 I was thinking the same thing. I was concerned that Naude was going to get mobbed.
more like ... hey, isn't it the guy other seals have been talking about back in the ocean?
Greg doesn't mind lol
How come Greg doesn't have an African name?
Got my hit of happiness 😊. Always cheering for you guys. Well done and thank you for your service.
Crazy, it's like he went to tell his friends "look, they helped me , I an free of the line".
Really wonderful, what you do for them. Always nice to see them set free.
Kids, your dad is a real life hero. I thought you should know that if you didn't already.
Much love from California! Always fascinates me when some of them relax knowing that they're being helped.
They all had this look like is he seriously gonna come in here? 😂 cute how he waddled away then looked back 😂 I hope he goes into the healing water soon. Different than the other location where they all run into the ocean. Fascinating. Good job Naude. 🙌
This is a great, unique video. Seeing the bigger picture taken by Katje from the walkway, as well as Naude's close-ups, is very interesting. It gives a different perspective on the whole process. And following the pup as he goes among his family and not in the ocean makes it even more so. Thank you all!
Definitely a two man job, but kudos to you for being able to handle it solo.
Aww i am a 42 year young man, and this making me cry of joy :'(. So wonderful!
Meh.
Doesn't matter your age! This'll bring a tear to everyone's eyes 😭
42 is young?
Edit: I hope you all know that this comment was a joke too
@@ferretmode uhh he's obvi making a joke.. like instead of saying "42 years old" he's saying "42 years young"
@@sahnwhee it doesn’t look like a joke tho
Awe the pup kept looking back at him. His family looked like they were checking him out and seeing he’s better now. How precious 🌼🙏🌼🙏🙏🌼🙏🌼
Thank you for the great work you do out of love for these amazing creatures. ❤️🦭🦭
Науде даже на прогулке с семьей не перестает спасать этих бедных зверей! И даже в одиночку! Щенок отрастил густую шерсть, поэтому было трудно найти и вырезать леску, но у Науде все получилось, зверек спасен и вернулся к семье!😊 Интересно, они издают какие-нибудь звуки, когда ребята освобождают их от запутывания? А то стадо шумит так, что не слышно😊
A family that saves together, stays together !
The way the pupp looked behind to make sure you are not following 🥰 Thank you for the rescue!
You did well. Rest assured that seal pup is grateful. I'm glad you guys always do a thorough job, you get all the filament strands removed, so the seal can recover completely. Kudos!!
수고하셨습니다. 하나님의 가호가 있길....❤❤ Thank you. May God bless you....❤❤ this is south korea
