Pregnant seal rescued

- Naude and Katja, the founders of OCN went out to Pelican Point to check on the status of all the new seal pups and breeding groups. Usually this time of year they cannot do rescues as they do not want to disturb the mothers with their new pups. The pups cannot swim for the first 3 weeks, and they run the risk of pups drowning when seals all run into the water.
However, there was a group of seals en route to Pelican Point where they found this adult female with some string around her neck. She looked pregnant too.
They first spent time making sure there were no new pups around and they went in to try and help.
Naude managed to secure her in the net and Katja got to work cutting her free.
They had to turn her over, as there was a deep cut from the line, and they did not want to pull the whole string through the wound. Luckily the new net has a zipper underneath and Katja carefully pulled the string out.
They let her out of the front of the net and she ran back to the safety of the ocean. 🦭

Ocean Conservation International (OCI) is registered as a non-profit organization under chapter 501(c)3. Donations to OCI are tax deductible in the United States. All donations are used to support the seal rescue team from Ocean Conservation Namibia.
My guilty pleasure is watching them run into the water. They think they're fleeing for their lives and I'm like "how cute!"
It's our reward too. We love it. It never gets old.
Me too! That scamper to freedom, free from entanglement, is the best!!!
@@OceanConservationNamibia I have always thought that starting the seal stampede was half the fun.
@@OceanConservationNamibia would a spiraling zipper give more reach/options? And if the color of the mesh was close to the surf, would the fight it less?
Have you guy's thought about in printing that could really help them.
Naude in a happy voice: "I love this new net. The zips work so nice." So do I. Applause again for the engineer who upgraded the net. Another happy rescue!
We agree. The net is amazing. We love it.
Been seeing all along in these videos that this rescue guy needs new nets and combo tools...at least sharpen the tools used. Maybe subscription money will help?
@@richardconard3944 As far as I know, OCN has three black nets. The orange one was the first rescue net and is now retired. Leatherman sponsors OCN and sends them tools. Subscription money helps, I think. And you can also donate at gogetfuning.com, if possible. Every little bit will help. The link is in the video description.
RIP thia next that was sacrificed for the huge bull seal. This was its perfect time
It often reminds me of the sorting hat from HP when the seals fit properly in the black nets.
Naude, all of us from North America (USA-California) take our hats to you and your Team for being true Maritime Hero's for all marine life. Way to go and be safe and continue to be strong. Your work is greatly appreciated. The best to you all!
It's cool to see your wife on a rescue, she's fearless. Obviously not her first rodeo. The commitment the two of you have is inspiring.
True words :-) She normally stays behind the camera, but she is just as committed to this mission.
@@OceanConservationNamibia that's apparent. Glad you two have each other.
The two of you are Awesome, Bravo! Ty.

Witnessing husband and wife doing a rescue is truly the height of romance. You guys are wonderful, thanks for all you do!
We agree! We are very lucky we can do those things together.
@@OceanConservationNamibia
Tak.
Macie olbrzymie szczęście. !!!!!
Mom saves another mom. So cute! I like this team. The wife is a best friend. wonderful work.
Thank you so much! Well said.
Naude, Natja, what a beautiful video! Soothing a scared lil sea puppy, they seem to pick up on the tone of your voices..and the back rubs 😍😍😍.. You saved 2 seals in one rescue there, thank you for the love and care you and your wider team show. All animals deserve the best life, and your contribution to it is such a wonderful thing to see, especially in these dark times. Thank you so much for sharing.. You two are angels y'know xx🇬🇧💜😇💜🇬🇧xx
Thank you so much! You found very kind words for us.
Half that seal population has been rescued by you guys, you'd think they would be happy to see you. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!
I loved when Natja was trying to calm the seal, like she was talking to a baby, soothing her as one would do a baby, it made me smile and feel warm.
❤
Absolutely 😊
As a mother to a mother-to-be, there is a naturally unspoken bond😃.

So good to see your beautiful wife Katja. You are married to a wonderful man and our hero. Katja, can you stand all the love coming your way. When I'm
having a horrible day, I switch on your channel and I begin to feel happy because of your dedication
Great to see Katja & Naude working together on the beach🥰♥️ Thanks for saving that beautiful round seal.
That’s so satisfying to see her free and head to the sea carrying her precious baby..lovely work there.
It really is!
Excellent work Naude and Katja. Keep safe.
Thank you! Will do!
*THERE MUST BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED. GOD BLESS YOU !!!*
AND YOU SAVED TWO SEALS THIS TIME ... MAMMA AND HER UNBORN PUP !!!
Ok that new net is amazing! Good job Naude and Katja!! 👏🥳😃 Another happy seal 💖
Yes! Thank you!
It is nice to see them swim into the ocean. That is the fun part of the story.
It's very rewarding, you are right.
Thank you so much for all you are doing! 💕
Thank you Naude and Katja, for your efforts in protecting this seal population. Hopefully this mother seal will give birth to a healthy strong pup thanks to you. By the way, our OCN hoodies are fantastic. Thanks again.
Wonderful, thank you ❤️
I absolutely love seeing the family helping with rescues
Her pup will be so thankful that their mother won't be in pain. I'm sure will be a much better/safer Mother, thanks to all of your hard work
We hope so. Two lives saved 😊
For those seals, you are like the boy in that parable that kept returning the starfish from the beach to the sea one at a time out of tens of thousands, and it's wonderful to see.
Thank you 😊
@@OceanConservationNamibia Question: After seeing your videos, it looks like the seals kind of know you guys. It is great to see them calmly looking at what you are doing to the seal you are rescuing. Do you think they can recognize your team, your little truck, the net?, the sound of your feet running towards them, your voice?
I find myself saying thank you for being there to help them so many times, even though you can't heparin it. Thank you for all you do.
I'm so glad they were able to help that mama seal. With the die off they've had there, Namibia needs all the healthy pups born that they can get.
We agree. Luckily we have been able to see lots of new healthy pups. It's amazing.
Those fishing boats hate seals because the seals get in their nets trying to get the fish and destroy the nets. It wouldn't surprise me if they poisoned the seals. I didn't realize how much fishing companies hate seals until I did some research because I started watching this channel. There's no way you'll make fishing companies change their ways without extreme public push back. But no one seems to want to do that. It's almost like the rescue people are afraid of the fishing companies when I brought up public resistance in the past.
@@Bryan-Hensley there is one word explaining people's character, starts with p. This is a slang word commonly used nowadays, maybe harsh to say, but people are afraid of everything. Why it is like that I cannot understand. If the goal is pure there is nothing to be afraid of. Just like in every town everybody is afraid of rich people, oh, oh, oooooh.
@@Bryan-Hensley Even better, stop eating seafood. I used to LOVE seafood, but I haven't had any in 10 years (or any other meat). Yes I miss it, but is it worth it? HELL YES.
It’s a lovely new net! That’s so nice for the big momma! ❤️🙏🏼🇨🇦
Not only saving today's generation but the one to come... fantastic job! Love the multiple camera angles and new net.
Looks like the new net is working out nicely.❤️it, You’re doing great things.Thanks
Yes, thank you
The zips look a bit dodgy to me.
There’s that question that comes up now and then. What person, living or dead, would you like to have a beer with? There’s Albert Einstein, of course, Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo De Vinci. I think if I had to pick among the living it would be one of you guys. You are doing the world’s best work at the moment. Bravo!
Glad you guys are in great shape!!! Y'all could do marathons!! Thank you all for saving these animals. Y'all are blessings 😇🙏❤️
Great rescue 🙂 thank you Naude and Katja for saving her ❤️ greetings from Germany 😊
Thank You for saving Mama's of the Sea World. Thst was really tight on her neck and l'm sure she was having a difficult time breathing. HERO's.... 👍 🍃🌎🕊
Yes it was
You guys! 😍😍
Thank you for saving many, many seals lives. Without a doubt, many would die without your intervention. You make my heart happy. God bless you all. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for the wonderful positive feedback! 🙏
Awww I like go think you saved mama and baby as well since the baby's livelihood very much depends on her. Thank you 👏❤
Exactly. We feel the same.
I’ve said it a few times and I’ll say it again, thank you to the folks that made this net for our Namibian hero’s it is far better than the previous version.
I am doubly happy with this rescue 🎉 Thank you very much 🙌 ♥ ️ Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸 to all 🌏🌎🌍
Our pleasure!
Watching the seal run “clumsily” is really amusing…cuteness overloaded and thank you for rescuing them❤
Awesome rescue! I so enjoy your quick work and merciful release of these seals from our refuse. Your work is heroic! From Colorado USA
It was a more careful and laborious job.
You are heroes who saved two lives, hoping that the mother seal will give birth well.
We hope so too, and we are very positive 😊
I hope more people will donate whatever they can afford to your work Naude and Katja and friends. I doubt I have missed a single video that you have made We can't be there on the beach with you to help, but we can help you help the seals with a small donation. Super easy and safe. I have not had any issues with it.
Thank you so much. That's absolutely fantastic. We appreciate it a lot. We will continue our work for as long as we can.
My Heroes 🦸♂️- much love 💕 + thanks 🙏🏻
I have started watching your rescues daily. The work you do is so very important. I’ve started sharing with my grandchildren so that they get to see your work.
Again, thank you for your service to nature.
Our pleasure!
Great, great job. Thank you so much for your hard work👏👏👏🙏🙏💖♥️🌈
Always glad when we can help. Too many don’t make it to us.
never get tired of watching you free these guys from painful constriction.. thank you ❤️from Canada🇨🇦
Ребята, счастья Вам и здоровья ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😊 ❤️
How great to watch old rescue videos! So nice is Naude's joy about the new net) the orange net has served its purpose, of course!
Mother and baby are doing well, thanks to you both.
We hope so :-)
Thank you for helping this poor mama seal. Great Job! I hope she's having a long healthy life still today. Stay safe and keep up the amazing rescues.
I’m so glad my hometown of Seattle is able to manufacture the new net that’s making things a Little’s easier for you.
From Seattle I second this comment.
That's right! Seattle seems to be a wonderful place.
@@OceanConservationNamibia Oh yes, where they just decriminalized Crack, Cocaine, Heroin, Meth, etc. It will be a lot better soon, that's for sure...../S
Walking the walk, bless all of you for saving our critters! 💞
😊
Ty so VERY MUCH for ALL that you do. Your all Angels 👼💕🤗
THANK YOU FOR BEIN SO KIND TO THE SEALS. GREAT WORK. WE NEED TO BE KIND TO ALL!!!!!
i am really very thankful for your family and friends and all the work that you do helping my seals
Glad to help
Scatter lads, those guys are coming with net! Bless you for helping these lovely innocent creatures 💕
Katja seems braver than some of your male helpers. She just quickly dives right in, more than willing to touch, soothe, and cut.
REALLY enjoying your videos.
You people are doing important work here.
Thank you. She will like that comment a lot!
The heard are resting Sleeping on the beach The lookouts spot the walk-talkies approaching
Look out girls them two silly buggers are here Enough R&R Back into sea we go Hurry up or they’ll be sat on you
Well done guys 👏👏👏
Thats the best 2 for 1 rescue I've seen! Beautiful rescue! Such a lovely family and work you guys do! Hope we get to see the mama with her healthy strong baby soon!
Thank you so much for your work! Truly inspiring
I love how he says it’s ok on a soothing voice to help calm the seal 🥰
yeah, hopfully you saved 2 Seal lives this time. Excellent work again. Thank you so much.
Bless her little heart, and a pup to look forward to.
You and the people that go out and help or save these beautiful animals are my hero's!!!!👏👏👏👏✌
So grateful you are there for them! 🌈
Always!
I absolutely love seals. Never got the chance to see one in person but if I ever get the chance there wouldn't be room for one more picture on my phone cause I would be taking so many pictures.
Thank you for saving them!
Awesome! Our pleasure 😊
Thank you very much for the support 🙏
Never seen a seal! They're everywhere here! Come and meet some New Zealand 🇳🇿 🦭 seals!
These are great men! Inspiration for future animal rescuers . You gentlemen set the bar and have the love and respect of many of us world wide! Please keep up the amazing work you do and may you all stay safe!
A great team together, Naude and his wife. That was a deep cut l saw. Glad that Mom rescued a Mother.
I have decided to make your charity the one I will be supporting this Xmas, and giving copies of the donation to our clients - it’s in their name 💝 I love what you do, you must see some awful deaths, it’s wonderful that you help these seals live longer, painless lives 👌
It’s amazing to see these rescuers go out time after time to rescue these animals. God speed.
I said hello to a grey seal. I drove to Nairn in Scotland, it took hours through the winding highlands. There is the harbour car park and a jetty/wall you can walk along. At the end is a little flagpole. The poles whistle like blowing over empty glass bottles. I had to hang on to the pole for fear life, it was spring but so cold & windy!! I wobbled my way back along the wall battling the wind lucky not to get blown in. I visited Culloden, a bit bleak and again windy. I went to Inverness got some food. Had a couple hours sleep. Refuelled, drove back to London. It was THE highlight of my Scottish visit saying hello to a cheery puppy faced seal bobbing about in the choppy north sea!
Great Team. Happy mommy seal.
Thank you! 🤗
I believe its time to donate to your very worthy cause again! Your video's are keeping us sane during this worldwide pandemic. Keep up the great work!
Wow, thank you
I'm thinking that new net works pretty good. Thank you to the designer for the new net.
You guys are too cute! 😍
Love you XXX
💗💗 Thank You both 💗💗
😊
That net is magic 😍 great work like always
It really is!
So good to see the faces of the team doing this amazing work. From being under tension to relief when another happy seal wobbles away!
What a husband and wife team!!! REALLY loved every minute of that rescue, and to know that that mumma will have her pup differently, had Naude and Katja not stepped in xxxx thanks SO much
Saved 2 seals today in 1 rescue.
2 for 1 yay!
A great day indeed.
Aahhh yes...🇿🇦
You should keep all the recovered plastic, netting, football shirts each year , i think the viewers would shocked . May recycle it into merchandise or give it to a children’s school to use it in a play or project .. for Maritime awareness .
Excellent work ! Flag bearers for humanity !
Thank you !
God bless the both of you! You are changing the world!
Well done you two! Bless you for all you do for these beautiful creatures!
Thank you so much!
Great Job. I hope she delivers a strong pup. Thank You.
😀👍
I hope so too
What a fantastic system y’all came up with to help these creatures.❤️🙏🏼
Thank you very much to the whole team for your service!!!
Our pleasure!
Every time i watch .. one of these rescues (which is a lot actually) a little cheer "YEAH!!" comes out of my mouth every time you save them... SO wonderful for you to do that..
That's awesome, I like it! We feel the same. It's never boring. We hope we can do this for a long time to come.
You are already absolutely professionals in what you are doing. Thank you.
So nice of you
I keep dreaming that the seals will figure out what you are doing and start running towards you to line up on clinic day. Then I wake up.
Keep up the great work!
this net works out very nicely
It's amazing. We love it.
Naude, can't help but wonder if they will ever realize you're no threat... if you can get habituated. Loving the bonus action by the way
Probably not - there are too many of them.
You are a lucky man with a beautiful wife who supports your passions! very wonderful.
Another success seriously aided by the new net! Wonderful rescue, high five indeed 😊💖💖
Yes! Thank you!
Wonderful 👏 👏 👏 Not sure I've ever seen the Lady before.. but high 5🤚😃👌 and well done to !)
✌😊🤜🗯🤛🙂👌 ...
Ohhh. I see now. Reading comments, that is the Mrs. Seal saver hero.. 🥰💞 obviously wonderfully supportive of your work.. 🤗
Nice to see your getting your family involved in the rescues.
Something extra beautiful about this rescue - good job Naude & Katja!
We feel the same. It's the two-in-one situation I think.
This has a cathartic effect to watch the seals get freed from their constraints and restrictions. We are all looking to get free from something isn't it. Great work folks.
Yessssss ! This time you saved two lives!!! Bless you
Let the ads run folks so we can continue to support them.
Thank you...I had no idea how that worked. I will absolutely let the ads run for these supermen, you bet❣
🍃⚡️🌊Read and comment while you WATCH THE ADS! This helps our favorite seal rescue team!👍🥳😃
You're the best!
@@MsArishiaNishi You're awesome! 😊👍
I will never get tired watching these. Great work!
That job takes a lot of guts and what you guys do for them is in very inspiring and heartwarming keep up the good work
Good job you guys, the seal colony near me in UK is patrolled by wardens and those seen injured / entanglements are captured and taken away by RSPCA treated, given rehab then released
Oh, that would be so great if we could do that.
@@OceanConservationNamibia I think for the vast majority of Seals what you do is better than tranquilizing and keeping them for treatment. I think the important thing is that you all do the best you can with what you have.
