Not seeing the chase does not matter at all. The only thing that matters is that the seal was freed from that horrible gill net. Unparalleled teamwork, everyone. Thank you so much!👍🙏❤
As always, God Bless OCN Team! I pray everyday for your Safety and happiness in your families 🙏🏼 Hope Denzil thumb gets better soon!🦭🦭🦭❤️❤️❤️God bless all of you🙏🏼🦭
There is a small percentage of seals who are that calm even when a rescue takes longer and get's painful. When a seal is so calm I always wonder why it acts like that. Is it calm because it knows they are here to help, or is it already very weak and ill and gave up on life?
She must have known you were helping..she was such a good girl staying still like that bless her heart. Thank you all at OCN, another puppy saved. 💜🇬🇧💜
Yesterday Tony had a bandage left wrist, today Denzil with the left thumb! Please tell them that they aren't supposed to use their hands as chew toys for seals!😁❤️ You guys are just so awesome!!!❤️ 🦭
Awwwww baby girl was such a good patient. Those gill nets are horrible. I can’t even imagine what poor animals get caught in them. You guys did an awesome job freeing this beautiful girl. Hope Denzil hand heals up quick. Thanks OCN Team 🙏🦭❤️
Agreed! I imagine we see 1/10th of the rescues. It is far more important to free these creatures from the entanglements, than for us to see the whole process from stalk to release. I imagine just the editing and posting time takes hours - and the UA-cam audience sees new rescues daily, which shows your dedication to helping these animals. I can’t imagine the carnage we would see on those beaches if the OCN Team wasn’t on duty. How many other beaches world wide have entanglements….without a dedicated team of rescuers?
Какие вы МОЛОДЦЫ,какую сложную несете службу.Хвала Вам.Очень хочется,чтоб мы люди не засоряли Океаны,реки,где страдают невинные животные.Ребята!,я благодарю за вашу нужную работу СПАСАТЕЛЬ.
How good and patient was this seal during the whole operation. I know you boys can never be too careful, but it looks like you could actually even have done this without the net. Well done boys!
Ребята! Какие же Вы молодцы! Несмотря на то, как тяжело Вам приходиться, я поражаюсь. Вы обращаетесь с тюленями,как с маленькими детьми. Пытаетесь освободить ,чтобы не причинить дополнительную боль. Огромное спасибо и уважение!
Thank you for always going to the extra effort of including us in the rescues by filming everything. But if it comes down to getting cameras or saving a seal, I'm glad you chose to save the seal!
Perfect rescue guys. It's far more important that you were able to catch her without the camera and not loosing her with a camera. You absolutely made my day and weekend
She had to know that you were there to help her. Hands on care is what you provide so well. I’m sure that when the seals get together they share their war stories & talk well of you.
Not every moment of your selfless courage needs to be on film for me to fully know just how inspirational and uplifting your work is.... I can only speak for myself, but I'm confident that I'm not the only one.....! Thank you from the bottom of my 💙.....!
Exactly! It's nice to see but we don't NEED to see any of it actually. The fact that they are saving all these seals is enough for me! Thank you for all that you're doing ❤️
What happened to Denzil's thumb??!! Looks painful. Here's to healing quickly. 💜 She was such a good girl. So patient and never once tried to snap or bite while you were working around her mouth.
In the description it says he hurt his thumb on their new recycling machine and that it took 5 stitches. (So very nice that OCN recognizes that we care about the team and provides an answer for us! After all, we do worry!)
I admire that after many hundreds of rescues, you still treat every seal with care, respect, patience and empathy. That is impressive and touching. A big compliment for all of you, Naude, Antoine, Denzil and Walter, from the Netherlands!!
Yes, they always treat them as living beings which deserve as much rights and respect as humans - or every other animal specie, small or big. We all have as much right to live and be free and healthy on this planet Earth.
She heard about you guys and knew you were her only hope, I'm guessing the others told her it was a terrible experience but was happy with the results. Thank you OCN team!
It may be that somehow repeated 'free-ings' of otherwise unharmed animals are communicated around the seal population so, at the least, they may be less frightened by the experience. In time, it could become 'the place to come' for line trapped seals. An evolutionary leap, of human / animal symbiosis, just speeded up.
I don’t know about the chronological order of the videos lately, but boy you sure been getting some patient customers. They must be getting used to you. She didn’t even try to bite you guys once did she? What an angel.
What happened to Denzils thumb? I missed it? His thumb won't stop him from being the fastest though. Here that Tony? Lol. My day would not be complete without watching a seal rescue by you guys. Thank you for what you do.
The dedication of each team member is so commendable. Inspite of having injury, saving the seals is still top priority. No one seems to be a diva but works harmoniously with total trust, respect for each other. Keep up your work and may God bless all of you and your love ones and keep you from harm and danger at all times.
The rescue is far more important than filming it. I know you want to get into filming all rescues but, I’m just happy to see the results of your efforts.
She is absolutely beautiful! Her face is sooo cute. Thank goodness she is now free to eat. Antoine please don’t ever apologize for anything. You might not have been able to save her if you were distracted and took that extra moment to turn on your camera🙂 She was an amazing patient. She wanted to live and knew you were there to make that happen. Thank you all for freeing her. My Heroes 🦭💔❤️🩹🙏♻️ I’d also like to say to whom ever is using these illegal gill nets…you should try having this net wrapped around your face and neck and see how you feel! PLEASE STOP USING ILLEGAL GILL NETS!
Wow, that was amazing! She was incredibly patient and trusting of you. She knew you were helping her. What a relief for her to have that off... Great work guys!
Your love and dedication to releasing these magnificent animals from horrific torture never ceases to amaze me. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us.
And now she moves. “Beware fish! Here I come!” Here am I at my breakfast table, and pulling the net out with you! That was a bad entanglement, and she would’ve died without you. Once again, thanks OCN!
Sorry we missed the catch in progress but at least you caught her! Fast work! Glad to see you were able to remove the netting. Thank you OCN Team. Denzil, I'm glad you weren't injured by the machine any worse! And I'm also glad you're healing up!!!! Thank you for the work you do!!
you guys as a team are awesome...and so compassionate toward the seals. if only seals could talk. keep up the amazing work..so appreciate what you do..big hugs to you all..
Amazing job, what a massive relief that must have been for the Seal to be able to feed and to breathe properly once that netting was removed. and it was back into the sea. A massive relief for everyone to see this too - can’t thank you guys enough for the tremendous skill you have and the great work you do.
This much hardwork for just saving one marine animal shows how great human beings u all r .... 🙏🙏🙏 Great and wonderful work brothers and sister 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Sorry that I had to chuckle that Denzil is too fast to get caught by the seals but that damn machine had it in for him. Tony you never need to apologize for the camera not being on. Our viewing enjoyment is only secondary to the job you do. Much 💕 to you all 🧡🦭
"Such a good patient...eyes closed and all.." LOL I'd like to think she's having a spa day and enjoying it all. It couldn't have been fun with that net around her face. Not to mention receiving the loving attention of all these beautiful men.
Wow...... what a day at the office!!!!! That was intense!!! I'm thinking that seal remained calm because it understood what was happening. At least I'd like to think so! That was a super rescue!!!! Well, well done!! Hope you heal soon, Denzel!!! Thank you soooo much, Seal Whisperers!!!! That made my day!!! 👏👏👏❣❣❣ This team is just too good for words......
No worries about not turning your camera on earlier, catching the seal is always more important. Great job, guys! Watching and listening to you all working together to save lives is awesome. I have binge watched your videos and have enjoyed watching you all become a cohesive team.
Good seal! She must have realized you were helping her. I was so happy when she opened her mouth for the first time in who knows how long. Now go get some fish!🦭🙏🌊😀
What a great rescue, time taken ensures clean result. Well done guys and Kat. Thank you all…Denzil, I hope whatever you’ve done heals quickly and painlessly 👍🏼🦭🥰
Super job everyone and what a great patient!!! Wonderful you being so thorough to make sure all of the ILLEGAL gill net was off of her. So proud of OCN ❤️ a great team doing wonderful things for the animals 😇😇🙏🙏💙💙 amazing how important a thumb is, eh Denzel!!?? Get better soon 💙
Ironic that Denzil has never had a serious seal bite, but ends up needing stitches for an injury associated with OPN. Glad it wasn't too serious, Denzil! 😬💙
Antoine, don't worry about the forgotten record button. We all know how it looks when you run after a seal. We like to see it but if we sometimes don't, it does not matter. The dedication and professionalism you show in every rescue and the way you and the other team members respect and trust each other and understand each other without many words needed, is beyond anything words can describe. What happened to Denzil's thumb? I hope he is ok again. It is not enough that gill net is illegal to use. It must be made illegal to own one. This is the only way to effectively bring gill net users to court.
Looking chilly out there today!!! Everyone needs to buy a sweatshirt or long sleeved t-shirt to support OCN 👍👍👍. I love mine and need to get a sweatshirt now!!!!
Hi Guys, i hear almost everywhere about Gill nets etc.. IF you have the time and want to do it. Maybe do a little educational Video about teh entanglements (Which are illegal like Gill net and which are legal) mabye show the difference between a gill net and a "normal" net. Also maybe a state of your work what projects are on the horizon hows it going. All that in one or maybe more videos. Maybe when theres a storm and you cant do rescues just an idea.
Denzil I'm so SORRY for being blind & not paying attention... I thought I picked up everything & was paying attention but apparently not. This morning I was reading some comments & allot of people were commenting about your hand or injury... & I was clueless. 🤔 So I came back to watched it again & sure enough... you were injured... I'm hoping all is well & I will watch better!! All of you are GOOD PEOPLE DOING PRECIOUS WORK... but also dangerous work with LIVE SEALS who don't understand what you're doing plus grouchy cus from having garbage tied around them. I am so glad you do an important job & I hate bad news BUT IT'S IMPORTANT & I really hope you're doing well, you're hand is well, looks & is feeling much better! 😊👍🏻🐾❤🐾💫
Hi Naude, Katja, Antoine, Denzil and Wally. That wee seal was so compliant. I am sure she understood that you were doing your best to help her. My OCN hoodie has arrived and has had its first outing!
Great seeing the long forceps as an addition to your toolkit. Hoping she may be healthy enough now to breed in the coming season. Better soon Denzil, our Lionheart.
@@1000teresa4ever I know that Kat is part of the team She has even a single handed catch in “Catch Me If You Can” I just mean this was the first time that we saw her hands so close to the sharp end of the seal. She needed hand protection too!👐🏻
Thanks for the info on Denzil's thumb in the Description! We realize you have a dangerous job and any signs of bandages causes some worry, so i appreciate you recognizing and pre-empting that. Also *_very_* glad to see the longer clamps! She was such a good and patient girl! She may not have been able to snap at first with the netting in her mouth - although i'll give her credit for not snarling, anyway - but she was so quiet! No growling or rumbling at all. Kinda weird, really... Wonder if she'd heard about your good works from her friends...?
She might have had a personal experience with the team. After all, they've by now helped more than 1200 seals in two years, so the chance of a seal getting rescued twice is getting bigger all the time.
That was the sweetest seal ever. So calm, lying very still. I liked that rescue very much. Everyone was careful. That seal wanted to thank you, but you know how they are. Running away is a good practice for prey animals. She watched you from afar.
This would have to be the best you've done so far. You can see gratitude in her eyes and her calmness and patience. Bless you all❣️. I hope she survives the 'harvests'. Over here they've begun a wild horses cull in the Alpine high country... All these precious animals being killed because there are "too many" well... There's far too many humans on this planet and it's ironic that humans are the sole culprits creating the worst destruction to the planet!!!!!!
One can only imagine the slow, torturous death-by-starvatiion these pups and others would've suffered if it weren't for these intrepid young men. Thank you for your brave, wonderful work.
Not seeing the chase does not matter at all. The only thing that matters is that the seal was freed from that horrible gill net. Unparalleled teamwork, everyone. Thank you so much!👍🙏❤
Awesome well said and thank you very much 🙏
Agreed.
As always, God Bless OCN Team! I pray everyday for your Safety and happiness in your families 🙏🏼
Hope Denzil thumb gets better soon!🦭🦭🦭❤️❤️❤️God bless all of you🙏🏼🦭
Great catch Tony. The poor girl couldn't eat or breath properly. Good work on freeing her.
Perfectly stated.
She's very calm and cooperative. One of the most well-behaved patients. If only every seal patient would be like this one! Awesome rescue, OCN!
Awesome indeed! She was probably very weak from not being able to eat. So happy that she will be able to eat, breathe, and live her life.
@@Asa...S Perhaps this was her second time in the net, and she remembered being set free once before.
There is a small percentage of seals who are that calm even when a rescue takes longer and get's painful. When a seal is so calm I always wonder why it acts like that. Is it calm because it knows they are here to help, or is it already very weak and ill and gave up on life?
@@Itsjustme-Justme I think the best way to judge that is by watching them run back into the ocean. This one didn't look weak at all.
👍
She must have known you were helping..she was such a good girl staying still like that bless her heart. Thank you all at OCN, another puppy saved. 💜🇬🇧💜
She was a really good patient indeed! Thank you very much 🙏
Yesterday Tony had a bandage left wrist, today Denzil with the left thumb! Please tell them that they aren't supposed to use their hands as chew toys for seals!😁❤️ You guys are just so awesome!!!❤️ 🦭

Thanks so much everyone!
Denzil is healing really well!
@@OceanConservationNamibia Just wanted to thank you for always writing me back. I love your videos, watching you save these seals makes my day 👍😊
Oh that poor seal was so patient. She knew you were saving her. Well done everyone!
Thank you very much 🙏
Absolutely 💯
Thank you for the great rescue! Doesn't matter if the cameras weren't recording. All that matters is the life saved.
Thank you very much 🙏

About the best patient yet. No grumbling, no fighting, no snapping and just a happy, healthy seal running towards the sea! 👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙
That gal must be an OCN subscriber, she was so quiet and patient! Excellent rescue as always, Katja and gents!
😊
You guys give a 100% to every rescues ! It’s great to see y’all at work !
Thanks so much for the feedback!
That gill netting is such a killer. Well done. Hope Denzil's thumb get better soon!
Did a seal bite his thumb?
@@vacationfan15 I was wondering that too, but the description above said he didn't. He cut it working with their new plastic recycling machine.
Wow, what teamwork. You guys (and gals) are pros.
@@dustigenes oh okay, thank you. Glad he wasn’t bitten!
How good and patient was this seal during the whole operation. I know you boys can never be too careful, but it looks like you could actually even have done this without the net. Well done boys!

Thank you so much!
The word is out in the seal world. "These guys are here to help us, be calm."
Poor seal…
It’s good to see that the seal stayed calm while rescuers were working on this…
Thank you for saving this~🤗

Love the care you take, both re-assuring the seals and taking such care to see that nothing is left to impede their recovery.
I don’t know about the chronological order of the videos lately, but boy you sure been getting some patient customers. They must be getting used to you. She didn’t even try to bite you guys once did she? What an angel.
In other videos you can see the seal group ( further along the beach) reluctant to go into the water and watching the OCN.
@@markae0 they're just too lazy to go
@@BudaKhan420 I‘ll take lazy over skittish. =)
The most important thing is that you have freed it from that Horrible thing. You are wonderful! 💙💕🇮🇹💙💙

Poor seal girl. She is so lucky to be saved. Much love to you all from the Monterey Bay area in California. Thanks for all you do.

Tony - GREAT Catch!! And Denzil, we saw you risking your bitten hand searching for deep cuts. Great honor to all of you!
When she gets back to her peeps:
Peeps: what took so long?
Seal: i dunno...but they had the biggest hemostats i've ever seen!

Now that Kat has become part of the surgical team doesn’t she deserve her own pair of gloves 🧤? 😁
Do you think they have a pair of gloves that will fit over those finger nails? lol
Kat has always been part of team. She does a lot of behind the scenes work.
@@1000teresa4ever I know that Kat is part of the team She has even a single handed catch in “Catch Me If You Can” I just mean this was the first time that we saw her hands so close to the sharp end of the seal. She needed hand protection too!👐🏻
Kat's gloves have arrived!
Thanks everyone!
Naude and Kat, you put together one hell of a team. Love to all of you!!!!!
Well done guys, great rescue, another happy seal and a happy o.c.n team 👍
Thanks 👍
I am so happy to know you guys save so many animals. Such hard work but so gratifying. Thank you.
Thanks for the info on Denzil's thumb in the Description! We realize you have a dangerous job and any signs of bandages causes some worry, so i appreciate you recognizing and pre-empting that.
Also *_very_* glad to see the longer clamps!
She was such a good and patient girl! She may not have been able to snap at first with the netting in her mouth - although i'll give her credit for not snarling, anyway - but she was so quiet! No growling or rumbling at all. Kinda weird, really... Wonder if she'd heard about your good works from her friends...?
She might have had a personal experience with the team. After all, they've by now helped more than 1200 seals in two years, so the chance of a seal getting rescued twice is getting bigger all the time.
That was the most well behaved and patient seal ever. Great job all around.
Most well behaved seal so far i have seen👌👏
So awesome!👌
That was the sweetest seal ever. So calm, lying very still. I liked that rescue very much. Everyone was careful. That seal wanted to thank you, but you know how they are. Running away is a good practice for prey animals. She watched you from afar.
This would have to be the best you've done so far. You can see gratitude in her eyes and her calmness and patience. Bless you all❣️. I hope she survives the 'harvests'. Over here they've begun a wild horses cull in the Alpine high country... All these precious animals being killed because there are "too many" well... There's far too many humans on this planet and it's ironic that humans are the sole culprits creating the worst destruction to the planet!!!!!!
Thank you guys! 💖💖💖
That seal knew they were helping her. Bless y’all for all the work you do.
Thank you very much 🙏
6:26 Those look like happy tears on that sweet little face. Thanks for always treating every seal with such dignity and respect.
SHE KNEW.......girls are so SMART😄😁❤ You all are such a blessing to these precious souls. 💜❤
Thank you very much 🙏
One can only imagine the slow, torturous death-by-starvatiion
these pups and others would've
suffered if it weren't for these intrepid young men. Thank you for your brave, wonderful work.
