Turtle Rescued and Released

- Not the usual seal rescue video - instead we will be showing you the long awaited release of a loggerhead turtle. A lot of people were involved before we could release this beautiful animal, starting with Mathilde and Isabelle who found her at Pelican Point. She likely washed ashore during high tide and got lost on her way back to the water. By the time she was discovered, her shield was already sunburned and she had given up all hope. Antoine and Naude from OCN immediately came to collect her and took her to the wonderful Aquarium in Swakopmund where she could get the medical care she needed. Laramon Tours in Walvis Bay generously offered to take OCN out to the open ocean where she was returned to freedom. It was a very touching and inspiring moment when we dropped her in the water and we saw her take off like a rocket. She knew she was home. Thank you to everyone who made it happen. 🦭

Thanks to everyone at the aquarium also, especially for giving the turtle back so you could return her to the sea.🐢🌊💙
🙏🙏
Thank you. There is most definitely good people around.❤❤
I have tears of joy. I bet she thought at first she would die, but she was sent angels ❤
That must have been the longest rescue yet- 4 months from start to finish. My heart nearly burst with happiness to see her take off like a rocket at the end 🐢🌊💙
Yes 😅
Whos cutting onions 😢😢😢fantastic to see her swimming to freedom, tears of joy!
@@markwdavis 🧅🧅🧅🔪🥲😉
that was wonderful. We thought she was happy at the aquarium, but when she got in the ocean, you could tell she was home.
Yes 🐢🐢
The aquarium looked like hell
@@pigeonlove But she looked a thousand times better after the care they gave her. Her shell was perfectly healed.
For all we have taken, it does feel good to see something given back.
Indeed! 😊
My goodness, the way she zoomed off when she was finally released is incredible.
I can't even imagine what you FEEL doing what you DO. I got all teary by seeing her SWIMMING SO FAST. What a beautiful gift of life you constantly give ! Thank you for all your work and your videos. You are angels (P.s. Loved your happy face when you were in the boat surrounded by your beautiful family!!) What a gift your kids have in such a wonderful father as yourself!
There was a bit of something in my eye too...
MY WORDS EXACTLY XXXXX
I almost cried when I saw her!! I live in Florida and we love our sea turtles!! 🧜🏽♀💜🐢🦭
🙏🙏
Fantastic. Another life saved. Thanks to all the team.
Thank you very much🙏
Our pleasure😊
That was amazing! Here in North Carolina on Topsail Island, we have a sea turtle hospital. It also does remarkable work. Volunteers walk the beach in early morning looking for sea turtle activity, nest. When found , they are marked and roped off so people know that there is a nest. When the babies are hatched, it's a big deal to gather and watch them head to the sea. It's a community effort that works! When turtles are healthy, they are returned to the sea, again a crowd gathers to cheer the turtle on her way! Thanks for all you do!
I’ve been able to visit both of these places - and volunteer with the Georgia Aquarium and our turtles as well. This one recovered so well - glad she recovered and returned to freedom.
Oh yay! What a kind thing everyone has done. I hope she lives a long life with many happy baby turtles in her future. Thanks to everyone who facilitated her rescue, recovery and release.
That’s so lovely to see, being released back into her natural habitat. Thanks for everything you do for all these sea creatures.
What a great rescue, rehab and release. Thank you to everyone. I learned two things from this video 1 turtles can get a sunburn, and 2 They can swim very fast.
I felt her JOY Literally, when ya dropped in the tank and then took her home. What ya all do is BEAUTIFUL! You're ALL AMAZING ANGELS too ALL those your'e able to help save! God bless you! 💙✌😇
I was so sick to my stomach when the plates on her shell were lifting up D;
SO RELIEVED that she was nursed back to health, thank you so much for saving this most incredible animal!!!
A wonderful result!
A well earned beautiful moment - proud of everyone involved!
Thank you very much 🙏
Thank-you Naude,❤Tony❤ and last but not least, the people❤ at the aquarium for giving this turtle🐢 a second chance of life.🎗
This brought tears to my eyes. I tend to think of you as “seal heroes” but your hearts and hands have no bounds. Once in a while we get these gems, like the whale rescue video, and I get overjoyed. How beautiful was this. Gratitude to you, the whole team and especially the aquarium for teaming up and healing this amazing creature to be put back into the ocean. When she soared away, my heart melted. And so glad you had your family there too. Thank you! Thank you ! 🙏❤️
So, so happy that she was rescued. I thought she was already dead, but she totally recovered! 👏👏👏💙💙💙💙💙
Just her reaction to the first soft touches on her back blew us away. She was so happily surprised to feel more than the dry wind and hot sun on her back. YOU ARE ANGELS!!!! Thanks so much from the bottom of hers and our hearts!!!
What a great team effort! Thanks to OCN, the Aquarium, and the boating company!
Thank you Naude and Team OCN for saving her 🐢❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏻 and wishing you all a nice weekend 😊
Our pleasure 😊
Hope you had a good one 😊
Beautiful 🎉🎉🎉 so thankful for all OCN does 🙏 so glad she had a healthy recovery and the release was magnificent!!! My heart is full after watching ❤️❤️❤️
💯 Agree! ❤✌
Our pleasure 😊
Thank you for the support🙏
Wow! I can't even imagine the satisfaction you all feel from a job well done! That is always the goal: rescue and release, as it should be. Great job, everyone!!❤❤❤
I know, right???!!!!
Well said!
Thank you🙏
I absolutely love OCN's love for all animals. Thank you so much for what you do!
Thank you too!
She looked beautiful after her rehabilitation, I was worried the sun might have caused permanent damage.
Also, that was quite an adventure for her; it's like the storyline from an animated movie.
Amazing how truly beautiful her she'll looks what a difference.
Well done everybody. Great team effort.
Thank you very much 🙏
Thank you to everyone, from the caller for help, the OCN team, the aquarium and the boat owners, for your parts in rescuing that beautiful sea turtle. All of you rock!!!!!!!!!
I’m smiling and crying at the same time👍🏼💕 You are all Angela🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕🇦🇺
What a beautiful turtle. Thank you Mathilde and Isabelle who found her. Thank you OCN, you take it in the aquarium to heal. Release moment was excellent. This beaty is home again. OCD, great job💙💙💯💯🐢🌊.
Awwww that was awesome! She really took off when she got released into her ocean home. Naude, Tony and OCN Team, you guys never cease to amaze me. Excellent job done from the aquarium with rehabilitation. Thanks again OCN Team for really caring for all wildlife 🙏🐢❤️
I'm so glad you guys were there to help her! When she was "swimming" as you carried ber to the truck i thought she's either disoriented - or she's trying to help you get her somewhere better than where she was stuck... The Aquarium was _awesome!_
So wonderful to watch her swimming away!
[Also: congrats to Tony for catching & self-correcting tnat enthusiastic "SHH-HOOT!" I have a famously ... "colorful" vocabulary, too, and i have to really curb myself at times. I get _inordinately_ proud of me when i catch it _before_ i hafta apologize, so i just wanted to acknowledge a kindred spi's good effort!]
What a beautiful rescue. It warmed the cockles of my heart. Well done to everyone who participated in this rescue. 🌞
Awesome sea turtle save! Tony hasn't lost his soothing voice! The seals might get jealous!
I love Antoine 🥰
😆 😅
Thank you very much🙏
THANK you for the save 🐢!!
Any time!🙏
What a wonderful rescue and recovery video. I am so glad you found her in time. 🥰🐢♥️
So are we!
That was such a heartfelt feeling. I'm so glad y'all are there to save the sea life. I've watched videos of you saving dolphins, whales, seals, and turtles. I'm very thankful that people have you to call. I've said this before and I'll say it again, y'all are heaven sent. God bless y'all in so many ways.
Как это прекрасно! 🐢
thank you rehabbers - she looked amazing on release, so healthy and free
Our pleasure 😊 She really did 😀
I just love all of you guys and gals!!! You make my day!! 💚☮️🤗
Thank you very much🙏
Beautiful video. This lovely turtle was dying and you helped her recover. And later you restored her freedom. Now she has her ocean home territory again!!! Great job team!!!!!
Thank you! 🙏
*"...take off like a rocket."* I felt that. Such joy for her!
Incredible rescue, rehabilitation and return to her original habitat!! Great job Naude & all!! 🥳🥰❤
Thank you
Another fantastic rescue, thanks.
Thank you very much🙏
Thanks too all from OCN & everyone at the aquarium that helped with her rehabilitation. Awesome to see the work that you guys do. Love you all. ❤
Thanks
OMG!!!!! That was soooooo great!!!!! I've got goosebumps from head to toe!!!!
I am so jealous that I wasn't there!!!! Putting her back into the water after 4 months must have felt euphoric!!! She looked so beautiful with her shell completely recovered! 😍 Wow! Wow! Wow!!!! OCN, y'all are living my dream!! A HUGE shout-out to everyone who made that happen! Thank you so very much!❣❣❣❣👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐
She was so happy to be back in the ocean and who could blame her?
Right!?🐢
Four months in a rehabilitation tank is great. Her sunburned shell and leather looked well-healed, and it was delightful to see M. Antoine at the rescue and release.
She was fast! That's evidence that she has her old strength back, and well done to everyone involved in her rescue and care. This was so inspiring to see, it really lifted my heart when she raced away from the boat.
It was so rewarding for all!
Everyone of you who helped that beautiful girl are super. All of you are the best. Thank you for being there for them all. 🤗❤️
Add a comment... Words do not express how I felt watching that. From start to finish, overwhelmed to say the least. 😣😢😭 at the sheer beauty of her and one of the happiest endings to an OCN film I have seen 👏👏👍👍 Was good to see Naude & Katya's offspring on board, in more ways than one!! Huge thanks to all, for helping that beauty 🐢
The turtle realized it had some explaining to do. Took off like a rocket!🌟
That was so heartwarming. She was definitely going to have a painful death. Watching her get better and at the end swimming so fast was fantastic.
That was absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much! Blessings to you all!! 🙏🏽🦭🦭🦭💕💕😍
Awesome moment when she hit the ocean she knew she was back home.Awesome guys Thank You.
Such a beautiful moment to see her return home! You are all amazing people and inspiring ❤
Thank you
Wow, four months in the aquarium to heal, I wonder what happened. I'm so glad you were willing and able to help and people reached out to you and collaborated.
Your seal rescues make me wish I could join your group. But this one made me jealous. What a privilege to be able to live the life of a hero. I've saved many animals over the years, but none so majestic. Great work!
Her back looked really great after rehab. So glad there was an excellent place for her to recover, good people to look after her, and OCN to rescue and release her.
This is another wonderful episode in the OCN series. I am so grateful to you for being able to get this poor turtle to the Aquarium for rehabilitation. Her poor scoots were so sunburnt and she was so ill that she'd not have lasted much longer on the beach.
After a long rest in the big tank she looked so much better. I love how healthy and happy she looked. 🐢
It looks like everyone, including the turtle, had a great time on the boat and it was a lovely experience for the kids and the Team.
☮️❤️🦘🇦🇺
Чип и Дейл, браво !!! ещё одно спасение ... и это здорово!
What an amazing opportunity to be a part of such a miracle. Blessings to all involved. You have our hearts❤💙💜
🙏
That turtle was so lucky to be rescued by the OCN team. I hope she lives a long life and makes lots and lots of little turtles.
Let's hope!
Thank you everyone for helping all of our sea friends!!!!
Our pleasure!
Love this guys. Different from rescuing seals! Any animal is being saved
Boy, this brought tears to my eyes, seeing her swim away so strongly! God bless all the OCN folks as well as the rehabilitators...
A wonderful result!
The aquarium, Laramon Tours.... Awesome to see others so willing to help these precious creatures. Thank you to all of you!
🕊️
I started watching bc of seal rescues. I've seen you save seals, sunfish, whales, a jackal, and now this turtle. You are true heroes in our world!
Loved the LIVE session today... thanks OCN Team 🤜💥🤛
So happy for the turtle! Thank you all who were involved ❤️
Thank you
That was such a wonerfully successful rescue, with everyone concerned about this turtle's welfare. From the women who found her and called OCN, to you taking her to the aquarium with Dr, Figgener advising treatment, to rehab by the aquarium staff and then Laramon tours giving her a ride out to release her, she definitely was blessed to have so many people care for her. Thanks to everyone involved!!
I am so happy you took her back where she belongs. Thank you so much for taking care for wild life and bringing them back into their natural habitat.
It brought tears to my eyes. Oh what joy to be back home! ❤️ Thank you!
Thank you too!
This definitely made my heart smile. Thank you so very much for what you do. She couldn't get going fast enough all because of you all.
Oh thank goodness you guys were able to rescue her, they are rare enough already. ❤️🙏🇬🇧
OCN team saved another life 💕 when you released her I cried. She was in a bad shape. The aquarium did a great job to give her a chance to get better. Wonderful to watch. Thank you for sharing this beautiful rescue 💖👍
Thank you for that; very inspiring! Well done to all involved, and nice to see the children being involved too...they are the next generation of rescuers.
It's always cool to see you rescue marine life that isn't seals. Keep up the great work! 🤗
Awesome! She knew she was home as soon as she hit the water. It took her a few seconds, then she took off like a rocket. I had no idea they could move so fast. Thank you to all involved in the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of this beautiful animal! OCN Team, thank you for taking us with you!!!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL SAVE! As always OCN comes thru for marine life!
Thanks Guys
The turtles who fly (underwater)! Bless you and thank you for all you do!

Thank you to the person who called in about the stranded turtle, to OCN for bringing her to the aquarium, to the staff there who took such good care of her and to the person who let you have the boat so you could release her back to her ocean home.
