I love that they were released together as a group of 4, instead of individually at different times. At least without their family, they still have 3 friends to stay together. Hope this increases their chance of survival at the start.
Helps predators honestly
They get 4 unaware seals to feast at once

It got me in the feels at the end seeing them swim freely in the ocean together.
Lol same
Then eaten by an orca lol
@@tribulationisuponus9245 or a shark😢
I laughed at how they bounce toward the ocean, so cute
@@tribulationisuponus9245 yes.. put them there to be food for sharks! 😢 they can build barriers of some sort to keep seals safe if they want, but dont.
watching all those little hotdogs bounce towards the calm waves made me cry with both joy and laughter

Hahahaha yeah hot dogs 🤣 They're like little soggy doggies without legs.
Did you hug your teddy bear?
Seeing Lli Pika go from a scared baby, suckling on the glass and wetsuit missing her mother, to a feisty barking, tummy slapping diva and finally a strong independent WILD seal free and healthy in her habitat
This is the glow up that I want 😭
@@kerryholland4822 Don't we all 😅
The responsibility level of these caretakers to ensure she remains wild, that she develops normal wild animal responses, just really makes me appreciate their work. It's probably hard to resist befriending cute animals, but what they did was the right thing.
EDIT: just came back to this, 5.8K likes, I don't actually have a thing about likes, but what I do find fascinating is that this specific point struck a chord I guess. I did not know so many people had similar thoughts on this, I appreciate that.
So they don't have to take care of it all its life.
Yeah I hope they Make sure it stays wild.
@@lolicongang.4974 No, it's because it's a wild animal that have a rol in the ecosystem, and if it's domesticated we all including animals are fucked up.
I think it's easier for people in that field of work cause they know better than anyone that a wild animal belongs in the wild
Just like never leaving your house and being thrown into a COVID gulag if you don’t answer a government text message is the right thing too, eh mate? I hope your two month old child (god forbid you ever reproduce, but simpletons like you usually do) is confiscated from your meth addled custody and then released into the urban streets after being cared for by other idiotic, non scientist “care takers” so it can “remain wild.” FYI that seal was eaten by a shark about 45 minutes after it was released, but at least you got to virtue signal about doing the right thing!
@@redlightdeath never seen a person more triggered than you.
I had no idea that the population of common seals in Ireland was as low as 3,000-4,000. They are such beautiful creatures.
Everything on the planet is dying bro
@@Awkd it's so sad isn't it? I worry so about our planet and the creatures we are killing everyday.
@@tracybowling1156 god will create a new earth after everything is destroyed on this planet
@@Awkd vegetation will flourish with “climate change” warmer weather and high c02 is perfect conditions.
Do you believe polar bears are dying off?
@@dewanshparashar5523 keep your faith up, it wont matter in the end unfortunately...
So good that no one tried to correct her feistiness. She had the will and the spirit. And I am sure she is thriving.
She was ready to flipper slap the nonsense out of everyone. Ili Pika was something else.
Reminds me of Cloudberry. :)
Killer whale has entered the chat
Girl's gonna grow up to be a matriarch. A seal with that kind of drive and energy is pretty much guaranteed to survive, thrive, and have plenty of offspring.
@@rogue7723 I was so thinking this ❤️😻
I love that the four released into the wild hung around the shallows playing with each other and just enjoying the sea vibes for a while before peacing out.
seeing them released together and gather around like a group of kids in field trip, its so cute and wholesome. They're back home!
Ready to get eaten by a great white 😋
@@Pepe-pq3om I believe some of them will make it alive. And even if that happens, it's how nature is :)
@@misswy1u nice comeback!!!
@@Pepe-pq3om Yeah, those guys are likewise not exactly overpopulated, so it works either way.
I sure do hop they dont abuse their animals during the cuts and put them in the situation to act like they rescue them
the funny is that they most likely do
Perfect, they aren’t trying to tame them but they are taking care of them. Teaching them exactly how they need to act outside of “rehab”. Seriously well done.
👍
Yeah .... what after 1 month ?? in the wild ??? they become food ... nice
BTW LOve animals but Hate Stupidity
@@RAFALAKOS22 So you hate yourself then?
Repent to Jesus Christ
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
Hebrews 4:16 NIV
They have the most beautiful eyes. I don't know how anyone could look into those eyes and still kill it.
Depends on how hungry you are
@@RrRr-or5tw Fur businesses would kill the pups by hiring men to bash their skulls in with bats. Not for food
Some places the seals are the apex predator, so if you don't hunt them they will destroy the fish stocks.
But you're right they are beautiful animals.
@@RrRr-or5tw damn man😂😂
because humans are monsters.
5:04 that look the seal gave to his friend just before entering the water, "You ready? Let's go!"😯 🥰😯🥰😯♥
AHHH 😆 Thank you for pointing that out for us! Soo cutee!
Like an ending to a DreamWorks movie
@@juanfifi4624 Makes your heart melt. I hope they're together and doing well. 😊😊
i noticed that too!
It takes a will of iron to handle these animals every day and resist the temptation to pamper them like cute sea puppies. They need to be hardened predators to survive, they are just coincidentally adorable to us.
It's quite telling how we find some of the most hardened and brutal predators in the world quite charming and adorable
@@carso1500 Because they are usually intelligent mammals. Dogs, cats, bears, and sea mammals are all reasonably intelligent and mammalian.
@@carso1500 we don’t though. We find baby versions of those animals adorable, just like this seal was only a baby in this video. Very few people would find a fully grown tiger or wolf adorable
@@victory7302 ngl I think a lot of people still find adult animals adorable. Most people are smart enough to recognise how dangerous they are, and they’re beautiful animals, but a lot of them are also really cute
@@victory7302 huh??? they're adorable and beautiful wym
That scene of returning to the wild, absolutely perfect ending and a great start of a new chapter in life 💖
I love how they’re just bouncing around slowly going to the ocean
@@coolpoolbymatthew Yeah they bounce and blubber away down the hill. Amusing to watch.
Not unless it does as soon as it is released
It makes me happy to see more than one released at once. I hate hate to see them alone.
He definitely got killed by a killer whale
Doing what’s right VS Doing what feels right. These caretakers did what was very right.
@SuperHuscarl They were righteous!!!!!
Indeed.
I think it's precious that the released seals stuck together as a group and not a single one ran off by itself. They all wanted to stay together! ♥
"Back up, Sister!" *slaps belly* "You don't want none of this!" Lol
She's adorable. Thank you for all your amazing work. After all your help, I'm sure Pika will flourish in the wild.
👏🏾👋🏾👍🏾😂🤣🤗😆
I wonder if she figures out that fish doesn't just appear for her to eat and needs to be hunted for. Before she starves to death, i mean.
@@Self-replicating_whatnot Seal Rescue Ireland does rescue, rehab, release and conservation. So they'd obviously have to be taught that prior to release. You can checkout their website if you want more info though.
@@staciehenderson6982 In this video they did not show anything of the sort. And how do you even teach that? At best you can throw live fish in their "pond", that doesn't teach young seals to search for food.
@@Self-replicating_whatnot I have no idea how it's done specifically but they've apparently figured out something out. I've seen videos before where rehabbers have paired orphaned animals up with an older one to help teach them. I've also read about how they do a "soft release" with seals and the release is a very gradual process vs just chucking them in the ocean one day and that's it. I know they also put trackers on them so they can monitor their progress. Nevertheless, there's a decent amount of info online from different rehabs if you're interested in reading about it.
She wasn't swatting that mop away, she was just trying to help you guys clean! 😅
Maybe she did not like the detergent !

@@TigerTigz. yessir.. rrr.. ma'am.. (?)
Just like mine
Isn’t it amazing that after being away from the sea so long, they go back and know exactly what to do like they never left? A job well done to Seal Rescue Ireland.
Did you learn to chew food ? Did someone teach you to walk ?
@@keriddunk1520 no, but hunting instincts are far more complex than basic instincts like hunger.
@@keriddunk1520 some animals who get too used to captivity tend to lose their wild instinct tho. that's why there are animals that are rehabilitated into zoos because they are deemed unsafe to go back in the wild. they did a great job!
@@randomrandorandom it's amazing what behaviours can be coded by "instinct" though. Some are quite complex. Famously, baby horses can run just a few hours after being born. Similarly, a cat raised totally indoors will still chase and kill a mouse if it sees one for the first time.
@@keriddunk1520 did someone teach you to leave innane comments on UA-cam videos?
Good to see a Charity that actually works at giving the animals the skills they need to be released into the wild again. Brilliant work!
I love the way lil pika try to slap the brush, it's so cute... 2:12
This is cute, but I can't get over how they waddle on land, they are so squishy, LOL!
O...m....g.... those wimpers and moans in the beginning was quite possibly the most heartbreaking sound ive ever heard... you guys are amazing!

Helping animals is a tough fight. I run a foundation that helps strays and rescue mistreated dogs in my country. Funds is ine of the hardest parts. Next is finding people who will commit to caring and helping the rescues. We have about 600-800 strays in our rescue center. We try to get them adopted from time to time. Animals deserve to be loved.
You better be vegan; otherwise, you put the H into hypocrite.
@@Darla-bw5ik Oh I'll put the H there alright. I eat delicious burgers, chicken wings, ribs. Even my stray rescues eat fish and beef.
She's so adorable! I love her little face!!!♡
Very cute.
4:58 the way the seals move is just adorable 😂😊
*plop plop plop plop*

Poor little baby. Thank you to the rescuers! You are TRUE HEROES!
Everyone who helps animals and humans is a hero!!
Don't forget that you're a hero even if no one gets to see it, Allah sees ALL good deeds!!
I'm not Muslim, but thank you :) Masha Allah ❤❤
Thank you so much
What's sad that if this dude said God, as in the Christian God, y'all would have had a fit. 🙄
@@nckhed Um, no we wouldn't? Lmao.
@@nckhed stop being so negative in all the replies, honestly just go make a cake or something
The way she bounced out of the cage on her belly was the cutest thing ever.
I have watched Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom since I was a little girl. I'm now 76 and still volunteering for an animal shelter. All six of our home critters are rescues. We also take care of 3 outdoor homeless cats. Thx to the worldwide folks who are doing such great things to help the voiceless Innocents survive and thrive. 🐾
What a sweet, caring person you are. Thank you for loving and helping animals so much!
Don't let PETA get wind of the outdoor cats. They'll have a fit over them having the natural instinct to hunt birds and other critters. They may even threaten your life, but they'll save the animals! 🤷♂️😆
@@nckhed I mean it’s true tho feral cats are known to decimate who bird populations…I mean look at Australia, look how out of control feral cats have gotten…
What a great program for the seals. Humans doing a fantastic job of taking care of them without becoming overly friendly and close. A difficult balance to achieve when the baby seals are so cute!
2:20 omg her fighting spirit
The look on her face at 2:28 was heart melting! Also at 2:36 to 2:39, I loved how confident she wriggled into the crate!
She’s adorable
And cute.
I love sea puppies! So grateful these sweet babies were so well taken care of.🍼
They are so cute
Very cute!!
Bro I love when the seals wriggle wriggle wriggle into the ocean it made me cry in the inside
I had to rewind and rewatch the close-ups like 12 times, especially that little yawn.. couldn’t be any sweeter!!! Thanks for the work you do, Seal Rescue Ireland
They are so cute.
"she let us know that she was feistier"
Seal proceeds to invent a new gang sign with her tailfeet
I hear she knocked out one staff member with her flipper-slaps. She stole her keys but without thumbs she couldn't open the door. 🚪
I would be SO unsuccessful at this. I would be crying like a baby when it's time to let go. Thank God for the awesome work they do!
THE HOLy DIvInE GOD THE faTHER Of JESUS CHRIST.
These kinds of events are the only ones that make life worthwhile. Bless this wonderful earth and all its helpful forces. Amen.
So damn cute. I understand when she says it's a bittersweet feeling when they release them in the wild On the one hand it's where they belong and seeing them free and healthy is pure beauty. But on the other hand you certainly feel like "farewell baby girl we shall never meet again"
1:05 soooo cuteee
I definitely think that helping other creatures to thrive when they otherwise might not have is one of humanity’s best traits! I hope Ili Pika is doing well!
If i ever saw a little animal crying because they miss their mom and i can't do anything about it I'd literally start crying.
Awww I’m so glad lli pika was released and now lives a wonderful life in the sea,she is the cutest seal I’ve ever seen🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯
Cute indeed.
Very much so!
"Pika, stop slapping the broom I'm trying to clean your tub"
"DO NOT"
"don't you want your tub clean and nice?"
"yea :)"
"and don't you want your tub all shiny and pretty?"
"of course :)"
"then let me clean it"
"absolutely not" **slapping noises continues**
Oh my goodness she is so adorable. She is just like a little puppy. If it was legal and safe, I’d keep a little seal for a pet. But I know that they belong in the ocean.🥰
um u have boyfrend?
They wouldn’t be dating the fucking seal dumbass

Never in my life have I seen a seal scoot with its tail up and its so adorable😭 (3:12 if anyone else wants to look at the cuteness)
Boop, boop, boop, boop, pause.... enter.
She's one of the lucky ones!
Hope she thrives her whole life!
Thanks guys!
Sea doggo, sea doggo being innocent, sea doggo missing her mama :(
This would be such a hard job for me. I don't know how these people don't form bonds to these animals, i can't even be around an animal for any amount of time before i start to bond with it, no matter what the species..i don't know how a person turns that off but i'm glad some people can for the sake of these beautiful animals.
it's simple because they know that a bond to a wild animal makes the animal to a pet. Means +30 years in a small pool and a small cage for the animal. Also +30 years care and food for the animal means no space for other baby seals. No human contact is the best for a wild animal.
Often they rescue the baby seal to early because of humans who see a baby seal alone on the beach. This "fat" baby in the video was maybe just waiting for her mother. She was at the ocean for hunting and then it is normal that the baby lie alone for hours on the beach. When the mother see humans she will not come back because humans are bigger means a predator for her.
This oyster farms in the tide zones are a problem because most of the time there are no humans. Without humans this tables at the oyster farms are a save place for the baby seals for waiting and with the tide the mother come back but only when she see no humans.
Thx u 4 the video. Never watch so details the life of baby seal from captivity then release 2 the wild. Amazing how u patiently took care of her & others, Keep up the good work & thx 4 ur dedication 2 animals
It’s awesome how they’re keeping these seals wild to give them the best chance at survival.
I love how they all bounce as they move toward the water, so funny and heartwarming
I love it when animals like this are released because you can see how happy they are 😊😊😊
So proud of Ili Pika and all the rest of the seals that were released in the video. I have confidence that they are somewhere on an Ireland beach living there best lives. 💜🦭💜
They will have a tight bond. Swim the ocean wild and free.
Why do baby seals shed their fur when they mature?
@@Scifi4life they dont need it as they spend most time in water.
Bro the face they make with their little eyes closed resting on their bubbler bellies is so freaking cuteeeee :3
Awwww.....how do you resist petting them? I could never do this job. Because I would want to pet and cuddle them to death. 😄
I LOVE that a bunch of them were released at the same time. A lot of times you see in videos where they release an animal back into the wild by itself and I'm all like "Poor thing is all alone !". Really to see them all go together.
She’s a little darling, thank you for helping her back to full health and independence. 💕
Omg why is she THIS adorable?? I can't with that cute little face 😍
Omg ikr?😘😍😍😍😍

Isn’t that just the sweetest?
1:10 BRO THE CUTEST THING EVER AWARD
Love these features on international rescues
This made me get a bit teary eyed at the end seeing them released. Also a bit scary for the young seals to not be going back to their safe home where food is plentiful and harm doesn't exist. Great work of the caregivers to get them healthy and ready to live a free life.
@okay
Yeah, typically for people its not really animals that kill us but all the other stuff, diseases, carried by bugs, and parasites in water, and food. Starvation, dehydration.
Modernized people cant make it in actual nature typically, or if they can, a lot of laws will have to broken, from hunting and fishing laws, and more.
the part where they go into the sea has calming music but i can take how they go into the sea seriously
It would be so hard to let this cutie go back to the wild because I’d just want to hug this little one forever! This is great work that these people are doing!
I wish only the best for these little seals. The wild is a scary place, but these people did their very best to give these pups a fighting chance. May all of them have a happy life.❤️
Seals always melt my heart, these plump water dogs. As well az the dedication of these wonderful people. Many blessings in 2022 ⭐
5:02 yes, yes, instincts are kicking in to bounce.
Wonderful video, makes me happy that there are people who go out of their way to save animals of every kind, bless them.😇
Bless these people who takes care of those who cannot fend for themselves. Giving so much time and effort to help these little ones. Hats off to you all!
They bounce while going go to the ocean so cute!♡
As they waddle to freedom so comical and good
Why is no one talking about how cute she looked fighting the mop…aww my heart🥺❤️
It’s folks like the rescuers in the video, who don’t seek recognition, but deserve it. There are so many people like them that deserve our attention and support. God bless you. ❤️
That brought a tear to my eye. Amazing work done by the volunteers in rehabilitating these seals.

This is my favorite UA-cam channel; everyday I have tears of joy. Thank you for caring and loving this seal and all animals that you help. You are my family.
Pika is so cute 😁
If we aren’t supposed to pet seals why they look like dogs?
@@runpigrun Same goes for bears
When they move on the land is so cute bc look like there jumping
As they momentarily look back as the enter the water on release day - feels like a "thank you for everything". May not be but it's a nice thought. Animals are capable of more emotion than many believe. Many are capable of appreciation, just not necessarily how we show appreciation
Many many thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who were involved in this incredible rescue not only of little Pika but all the other seals in the habitat! God bless you all and your families 🙏🏽
So cute
Very true.
SHE LOOKED BAAAAAACK! I'm ugly crying
5:03 you caught that, so cute!!
Such a sweet baby, with huge personality! I'm so happy that she was taken in for care by this wonderful organization.
When I lived in Ireland for a year in 2016/17, I stumbled upon ascene where seals where released into the sligo bay and it's a memory I'll never forget.. many people came to watch from a distance and it warmed my heart to see the animals swim into the ocean where they belong
Yeah so you don't consume sea animals, including fish and lobsters then, correct? Otherwise, you are a major hypocrite.
4:16 The cutest shot ever OMG
Yus
They look so cuddly
Seals are dogs of the sea 🌊 🦭 🐶❤️ I mean, look at this puppy face and soft fur!
When she got aggressive in the tub, I thought they were gonna need the sea whisperer 😁seals are so similar to dogs 🐕
The baby seal thinks: "I am getting my point across, fear me!" What the hooman thinks:" That is so cute:)."
Oh my God she's soooo precious! Tha k you to the caretakers who are probably some of the best humans on the planet.
