Turtle Rescued and Released
Вставка

- 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!

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💙💙💯💯🐢🌊.
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.
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.
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’m smiling and crying at the same time👍🏼💕 You are all Angela🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕🇦🇺
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 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.
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
For all we have taken, it does feel good to see something given back.
Indeed! 😊
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 ! 🙏❤️
That’s so lovely to see, being released back into her natural habitat. Thanks for everything you do for all these sea creatures.
My goodness, the way she zoomed off when she was finally released is incredible.
A well earned beautiful moment - proud of everyone involved!
Thank you very much 🙏
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🙏
Incredible rescue, rehabilitation and return to her original habitat!! Great job Naude & all!! 🥳🥰❤
Thank you
What a great team effort! Thanks to OCN, the Aquarium, and the boating company!
Как это прекрасно! 🐢
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! 🙏
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.
Everyone of you who helped that beautiful girl are super. All of you are the best. Thank you for being there for them all. 🤗❤️
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 😊
That was absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much! Blessings to you all!! 🙏🏽🦭🦭🦭💕💕😍
I absolutely love OCN's love for all animals. Thank you so much for what you do!
Thank you too!
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.
Thank-you Naude,❤Tony❤ and last but not least, the people❤ at the aquarium for giving this turtle🐢 a second chance of life.🎗
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!
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!!!
Such a beautiful moment to see her return home! You are all amazing people and inspiring ❤
Thank you
Well done everybody. Great team effort.
Thank you very much 🙏
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.
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!
I've never been so happy to watch a turtle swim away!
I love sea turtles. They have the sweetest faces! Thank you for helping her. I pray she dreams of you all and your kind hands. Peace to all.
Thanks so much!
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!]
Чип и Дейл, браво !!! ещё одно спасение ... и это здорово!
So, so happy that she was rescued. I thought she was already dead, but she totally recovered! 👏👏👏💙💙💙💙💙
Awesome moment when she hit the ocean she knew she was back home.Awesome guys Thank You.
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🙏
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!
It brought tears to my eyes. Oh what joy to be back home! ❤️ Thank you!
Thank you too!
What a beautiful rescue. It warmed the cockles of my heart. Well done to everyone who participated in this rescue. 🌞
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 🐢
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!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for helping her, getting her help and taking her back to the ocean. God bless everyone that help her.👍👍👍👍
🙏
So happy for the turtle! Thank you all who were involved ❤️
Thank you
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.
Awesome! 👍👍👍 Thank you to everyone involved for helping her and sharing this amazing rescue! So glad she is better now 🙏
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.
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!
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.
Just amazing, thank you everyone ♥️🇬🇧
🙏
The turtles who fly (underwater)! Bless you and thank you for all you do!
Thank you for the support!
THANK you for the save 🐢!!
Any time!🙏
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.
☮️❤️🦘🇦🇺
❤❤❤ Thank you very much to all who were involved .. it takes a team effort ...
Thank you too!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL SAVE! As always OCN comes thru for marine life!
I love your rescues and watch them all but this one especially brought tears to my eyes. Massive thank you to you all.
Only two words needed. Just beautiful

Oh thank goodness you guys were able to rescue her, they are rare enough already. ❤️🙏🇬🇧
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.

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!
Love this guys. Different from rescuing seals! Any animal is being saved
What a beautiful rescue!!! Thank you so much for all that you do!
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!❣❣❣❣👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐
