Seal's Flippers Swollen Up from Fishing Line
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- Excitement among the OCN rescuers - if this potential rescue succeeds, it will be rescue #600 for 2021, the unofficial target for the year based on the rescue numbers from 2020. They take extra time to plan out the rescue to make sure she does not get away. She has multiple very tight loops of fishing line around her neck and chest and also around her flippers. The fishing line is so tight that her flippers have completely swollen up. The blood flow and range of motion is heavily restricted and she is lucky that she is being rescued as she would not have survived for long. The rescuers exchange a quick fist bump to celebrate this milestone achievement of 600 rescues in one year, and they are off to rescue the next seal in need. 🦭

Imagine having your legs tied like that and not being able to free yourself. God bless you guys. Number 600. I never imagined your help was so needed. Awful to realise that. Humbled by the effort you all put in to saving these beautiful animals.
2:31 bravo je vous suis depuis 2 ans vous êtes fabuleux je vous aime pour énergie pour Willy,Toni ,Naude,Denzel,Kate et les enfants ❤😊
The amount of instant relief she must have felt. As always, fantastic job guys!!
That was the first thing I thought of too. It's a lucky thing she didn't lose her flippers 👍🦭
Relief for sure, and probably that annoying tingling feeling from blood reawakening a limb that's fallen asleep.
Unfortunately, after the removement of such a tight enteglement, she was most likely more paintful than before, since the blood started flowing and released the entire pain of the swallen flippers. Hopefully the flippers were not inflmaed yet, so it may have healed quick. I'm happy that found this poor thing.
@@Novaphex That makes sense. I didn't think of it that way. So probably still very sore for a few days.
@@jennifer21842 most likely yes. But anyway, most important is that they removed it before it got live harming.:-)
I was happy to see she used her back flippers right away as she ran into the water. Hopefully she had minimal nerve damage.
Thank you, Naude and Tony.🥰
Our thoughts exactly, thanks
Shame on mankind, for 600 seal-should suffering from us.
🙏 Thank you guys for your incredible work.
I'm sure the seal was comforted by Tony's constant flow of soothing words while Naude was cutting the line free. Good work!🦭🙏🌊
600 LIVES SAVED, WOW!!!! You deserve a medal guys!!!
We couldn't do it without your support, thanks!
600 seals who now have a chance because of your efforts! Amazing!!
Congratulations on 600 a job well done. There are angels amongst us.
It seems like the flippers are a very sensitive area for them. What a devastating place to get entangled, it's a great thing yall were there.
Thank you for all of your rescues and your dedication to saving these seals.
The soothing talk to her is so very important, doctor at the tail end, nurse at the front end. You do an amazing job, thank you so very much for your amazing team effort. 600 congratulations for saving all those seals!!
I love to hear Antoine talking soothingly to them while they are being cut loose. I know he's giving them little rubs as well while at the same time scanning the herd looking for other entanglements. Tony is obviously someone who loves being able to help them.
I find myself smiling with every seal that is realeased
Wow.... 600! Her poor flippers were so bound.... imagine the freedom she must feel and now able to swim properly, well done OCN Team!
Poor seal........ thank you guys
It probably hurt and felt so good when the blood feedback into her flippers. She sure wasn't shy about using them to scamper back to the ocean!
Yay 600!
Happy New Year!
Swollen flippers got the much needed relief and most importantly it's ability to swim and find food too.
I bet he must have felt such a relief when the fishing line was cut from his flippers. TY Naude and Antoine
Was so sweet the way she moved her flippers apart after you cut all the line away .
Well spotted 😊
That poor seal.! What relief she must have felt when the lines were cut. Thank you for caring and looking after the seals. Let us all hope that less trash will be dumped he the waters this year. Have a Happy New Year and please keep safe!
We hope so too!
Congratulations on your 600th rescue guys!
Congratulations on saving 600 precious seals!
Agonizing - knot in my stomach as I watched - thank you OCN ... proud of you all!
Thank you so much!
Her poor flipper feet tied up, every move painful. Thank you for saving 600 this year ! ⭐
What a terrible entanglement, the poor seal could probably loose the flipper is it weren’t for your timely rescue. Thanks OCN, and have a perfect New Year.
God that would have been hurting her so much. Poor thing. Thanks as always guys for a terrific job.
You guys have rescued 🌟 600 🌟 seals in a year, 🌟 WOW !!!! 🌟 EXCELLENT !!!! 💯 % 🌟 👏👏👏
And I'm sure all the seals really appreciate it too !!!!
💜💙💚💛🧡❤💜💙💚💛🧡❤💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Imagine walking on swollen feet with embedded ropes in them. Poor girl, that must have been so painful. Thank you for saving her life, a 600th life. You are true heroes. Happy and Healthy New Year to you all!!
Agree, the seal would very seriously be in agony. When I cut my fingers I'm useless! The appendages you use to live daily are so important.
You guys are relentless 👍👍👍👍 so glad your there for these floppy floppy feet friends.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Naude & Tony, you could see her relax once she realized that you were there to help and not harm her. Awesome work 👏👏
Congratulations and thank you - there are places in heaven for all of you : )
Oh my goodness. How painful and dangerous for that seal. She could actually lose her back flipper. Wonderful job guys....great podiatry job.
🦭🌟🦭
Oh Nancy
Glad to see her using her flippers at the end. That could have been a serious constriction wound. Happy New Year!
She certainly ran a lot quicker after her speedy rescue and a
Happy new year guys I hope you get all the luck and success you all deserve 👍
Here, here! I say, I say!! CHEERS!!!
I'm so grateful you guys were there to get that horrible line off that seal. It was wonderful to see she had the use of her flippers after she was freed. Thank you for 600 saves!
My Lord! I could feel the relief through my computer screen. I can't imagine the relief that poor animal must have felt.
Super happy 😍 Thank you for your continuous selfless efforts n love!❤️
Always!
Poor girl must have been in so much pain. It's a blessing you found her.
Just in time too! Thanks 🙏
What a great way for this lovely seal to begin her New Year, and the rest of us rooting for OCN.
Freaking Heroes. OMG! It is so heart warming to see these videos.
Thanks 🙏
600!….amazing and sad at the same time. So many rescues had to be performed but well done to you all! Thank you, thank you for saving these seals. Happy New Year and here’s hoping 2022 is better!
Let's hope! 🙏
@@OceanConservationNamibia We all hope, with you too. Sadly though, the evidence proves the opposite.
Thank you for your dedication to this cause, we love you all.
Great record of accomplishments for the year. Just seeing her scamper down the beach undeterred by entanglements was so inspiring. Superb job, as usual Team.
Thanks so much!
600... Well done and thank you! But a very sad number...
Hello from UK, deep respect and admiration for the work you are doing. Checked your website now too, having watched many of your videos. Its a sombre thought how many animals are not rescued all over the world... What you are doing is so important. Well done and keep it up. Donation to follow shortly and encourage everyone to donate, no matter how small or large the amount.... We can clearly see it will be used well.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback, consideration and continued support! We really couldn't be this successful without all the support. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Ive just started to watch these guy's really gets all of my emotions great work they doing 🇮🇪🇬🇧 Spread the word 🙏
GP 💐
Wow, that poor seal!
So lucky you guys are there to rescue them!
Terrific result, you are heroes!
600 rescues this year is a wonderful number but also very heartbreaking that out of all the seal beaches in the world there were 600 beautiful creatures in need of rescue just on the beaches you guys patrol. How many more are out there somewhere suffering from our garbage and lack of caring what it's doing to our wildlife? Thank you for all you do and hopefully you have inspired others to look after the wildlife around their area.
This is exactly the message we are hoping for people to hear! This is a global issue and not simply problems being faced by our resident fur seals.
Many Thanks !!!!!!
Thank you
I enjoy listening to you planning the rescue, just as much as the rescue itself. Hope she has a quick recovery.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! 🙏
Well done guys on your 600 rescue! You are rock stars!
Thanks!
That entanglement turned my stomach. That poor seal, you know she was in great pain. Bless you all for your dedication to those beautiful creatures. You are true heroes.
Happy New Year. 🎊
Thank you for watching and caring so much, all the best for the new year!
600! Heros or angels are what these men are!!
That line was like a tourniquet to that poor girls flippers. Thank you for finding her before it was too late. Happy New Year to all 🦭🌊💙
Just in time! Thanks
👏👏👏👏👏 600 seals that will have a better life
What a big difference before and after the rescue! Great work, OCN!. The very best wishes for 2022 to everyone!

Thank you!
600 more seals given the chance to recover and live normal lives because of a group of good looking men and beautiful women, with hearts as big as a milk pail, came together to make a difference and undo some of the damage that others carelessness has caused. Thank you for everything you do and know you are making a difference in the World.
Oooo, feel so sorry for these beautiful little animals. So sad but so wonderful that you are helping them live! Thank you!
Have a great New Year!🇺🇲🙏
Congratulations and thank you for rescuing 600 seals this year. It is so sad that this has to be a thing. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you 🙏
*As much as I want to celebrate and congratulate you guys on your 600th rescue, it is also an indication that more and more seals are getting entangled and needs to be rescued.😕 Nonetheless, all your efforts and hardwork are paying off.👏🏼🙌🏼 Sending my warm wishes to Team OCN!🤗 Let’s keep working hard for an inspiring positive year. Happy New Year to all.🎉🥂*
Yes! Thank you!
So good seeing how she got more relaxed while you worked at her flippers, feeling that she can move them again. She would have ended up as easy prey or not being able to swim anymore with that entanglement, good that you found her before it could cut into the flippers. Happy new year to all of you :3
God bless you both! I think it is so sweet how you guys speak softly and comforting words to them. I just got your newsletter. That is a lot of rescues! Much success this year to you all. 💕
600 спасённых за год - хорошая цифра. В это даже трудно поверить. Молодцы, ребята! Спасибо вам! Удачи в новом году.👍👍👍
My wish for the new year: a whole-morning-long live stream
just overseeing the beach from a distance -
yes, I would watch! ;-)
Me too.
Yes, getting a feel of the action during a morning.
Maybe combined with fund-raising???
Yes, I'm in, too!!
Best rescue ever! It´s so reliefing to see these mean entanglement around the seals swollen flippers removed! You guys are heroes, thank you so much!!! Wish you a happy New Year!
600th rescue 🥰 love your work my beautiful friends 🙏👏💕
A very close call for that lovely gal. She was under extreme duress with those swollen flippers. It must have been a gigantic relief for her to be back in form! Great job, and congratulations on those hundreds of rescues. You guys are just the best!
POOR POOR BABY. THANK GOD yal saw her before that weird entanglement got really bad. Tony comforting her and Naude cutting it off I'm sure she KNEW you two were helping her.Thanks OCN❤❤❤❤
That was very unpleasant for the seal. Well done. Happy New Year to all.✂️👣👍🎉
This is the first time I see lines being cut at the flipper area in a rescue. Thank goodness u guys got to him early
I encourage all of your subscribers to purchase your merchandise to better support your channel. What you do for these animals is amazing and appreciated by many. Congrats on 600 for the year. God Bless
Oh boy she looks so happy 😁 She will be swimming some laps now!! Thanks for the wonderful work you guys do.
Thanks!
Fantastic job as usual guys. I love watching the efficient way you deal with these entanglements with no. 600 being a really big milestone. Well done. Happy New Year to you all from U.K.😀
Thank you so much 🙏
Aww poor little thing. Thank goodness you guys found her. Congrats on 600 that's incredible!!
Thanks so much!
Oh her flippers must have been so sore. This was a serious rescue!
Drs Angels For Seals take a bow!!
Happy new year to our intrepid seal-savers and to the seals too. ❤💙💚💛💜💖
600 rescues, that's incredible.
Thank you so much!! Hört nicht auf damit. Danke.
Love you guys so much! Thank you for loving these beautiful seals! ❤️🙏
Great job! Thanks for all the hard work you do to save these magnificent animals.
Congratulations 600!!! Makes my heart feel good.
Definite mixed feelings about your milestone. On the one hand you have saved 600 lives, which is the result of SO much work and passion and love. It's truly amazing! On the other hand it just shows how bad the problem is in the ocean, I mean 600 seals have been tangled up in something that was casually left by humans that would have ended their life without the amazing OCN team. So I guess in lieu of congratulations I'll just say: Amazing work!! The world is so much better because of you all!
Thank you for the wonderful work you guys do for the seals 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Wow. 600. Congratulations!! Much love from TEXAS USA.
What a good way to start the year, congrats for the 600th for 2021, it is hard to believe that so many animals are entangled and that is only in your
neck of the beaches😁the poor seals all around the rest of the planet could use you!
I like to believe that the seals in Namibia, when they see you and your group, now know that you are here to save them and do not run as fast as they use to!
May 2022 be a great year for you and yours and may other be inspired by what you are doing!
Thank you so much!
#600 is a great milestone for your team. it is also, unfortunately, a sad reflection on how badly we are treating other life on our little blue marble. I hope 2022 can be a start of humans being better sharers of our planet (I don't necessarily believe it will happen, but your team have given me much more hope than I thought possible). Thank you all again for bringing your heart and your skills to the seals!
That is an incredible number of rescues, so much good work on your part. Thank you.
Another one saved. Thank you guys and happy new year to all of you and everyone that works to save our wildlife, and everyone that follows on here.
THANK GOD for putting people like you on earth!!! People who are skilled, caring and compassionate. 🙏🙏🙏 We're all, ever so grateful to you!!!
