  • As seen and explained by Naude, this fishing line has probably entangled multiple animals before this one. Many marine animals are killed out of sight by ghost fishing gear each year. We are fortunate to have seals and other animals who make it to the beach with such trash and show us the state of our oceans. However, we are certain the situation is far worse than what we see on the surface. Time is running out!

    Hi all!
    The pregnant seal can finally breathe, giving her baby a better chance of survival. Watching the rescuers work is very cool! But it’s a shame that they have so much work to do.

      Our efforts are just a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of tonnes of trash entering the world's oceans every year.
      We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

Estes vídeos pretendem mostrar as consequências desta poluição e criar uma mudança para enfrentar as suas raízes - nomeadamente a nossa dependência de plásticos descartáveis, a falta de aplicação da lei no mar e as deficiências da indústria de reciclagem.

Uno siempre se pone a pensar en lo mucho que sufren estos animalitos por culpa de la mano del hombre, pero ver que hay gente dispuesta a ayudarlos, eso sí que levanta el ánimo, ¿verdad?

    I just can't help but think the seals are slowly learning the OCN means them no harm and are, in fact, helping them. I noticed how a group of them seemed to be watching from a distance, perhaps observing and even waiting for the cow to be released; that enough of them have seen the improvement after they have been captured and released to know that something good is happening. Before anyone thinks I'm some kind of Disney-esque / Bambi nut, I'm not. I actually worry when wild animals begin to have faith in people or look on people as no threat. Because, we all know, that for every good person who does want to help, there are others who are not. It's better that they remain wary. Sad, but better for them.

    Couldn't hear it, but it looked like she let out a big 'ooofff'. Nice rescue. How long are they pregnant? Do they eat the afterbirth like other animals, or don't they have predators?

    • @OceanConservationNamibia
      @OceanConservationNamibia  Місяць тому +1

      A Cape Fur Seal's pregnancy lasts from about 8 to 9 months.
      Cape fur seals do not have many land predators. In our colonies, only seabirds, jackals and hyenas prey on newborns, but they return to their scavenger diet when the pups are big enough to defend themselves.
      No predators prey on Cape fur seals in our waters. The water is simply too murky and shallow for sharks to attack, and orcas that frequent this area only once or twice a year do not seem to be interested in them.
