Tiny Baby Seal Stuck Between Big Rocks

Published 2022-01-30
Not one of our classic entanglements, but definitely a seal rescue: a tiny seal pup slipped between the rocks at Cape Cross, unable to get himself out of there. We have different theories how he got into that situation, but we know with absolute certainty that he was not able to free himself. Luckily the OCN team was around, and they could wiggle him out of the whole. The ordeal took a few minutes, but in the end the pup was rescued and he immediately went looking for his mom. 🦭

    What a lucky little puppy you spotted him. I hope he found his mommy and stays away from those rocks. 💜
  • The relief after being rescued frim this slow agonising death are beyond words. Imagine trapped, unable to move, hungry and punished by elements plus biting insects. Bless you all for finding and rescuing this little baby seal. Great work guys.

    "Definitely the biggest, heaviest entanglement we've ever to deal with." 🤣ROFL!
  • Oh my... I was on the edge of my seat. What a save for that little pup. Good job!
  • @lindac6032
    What a good patient! It seemed like he had given up, but perked up and calmed down when his rescuers arrived. Thank you so much for saving this little cutie!🦭😍🙏
  • @trudywolfe2795
    He looked so sad and now he's very happy. Thank you guys for being his hero.
  • I am hoping you put another rock into that space so another pup seal doesn’t get trapped. That was a wonderful rescue that saved that poor pup from dying a slow death.
  • The way you talk to these seals , this is more than a job, it's a passion. Such kind people.
  • @girlinabox1943
    OMG His sweet angelic innocent face he's so tiny 😭😭
  • @Dellboy56
    That’s what’s known as “being stuck between a rock and a hard place” Great work, guys 👍
  • Hope the seal finds its mom, thank you for setting this pup free. You guys are terrific how you help the seal community..
  • Повезло малышу, что есть такие люди.

    Ребята молодцы спасибо Вам за спасение малыша. Здоровья вам всем счастья благополучия. Мир Вашему дому.
  • @lindac6032
    So lucky for him that you found him when you did! I don't like to think of how many other pups may have been trapped like this. You guys are so often at the right place at the right time! I know you can't be everywhere, but you make it count wherever you are!🦭👏👊💙
  • @user-ee4lm2bb6o
    Молодцы. Спасибо вам за добрые поступки. Побольше бы таких людей.
  • @CosyJaney
    I smiled so much when he finally got released from the rocks, I hope he found his mum ok afterwards. Well done for rescuing him.
  • @demopem
    Great job! The problem with animals getting trapped is that they often swell up when struggling to get free, which is why you wonder how they got into that position in the first place when it's so hard to get them out again.
  • @ainovortex4443
    Oh my god, he is so tiny and cute thank you sooo much for saving this little guy!
  • @sephinew3333
    What a sweet little face he had🥺💜Its wonderful you found him in time
  • @joycesky5041
    That poor baby and he must be terrified! I hope he wasn’t stuck there for a long time and hope he can find his Mom…he’s adorable and I just wanna cuddle him so he’ll know he’s safe. I know people don’t carry cooking oil around in their back pockets but pouring oil all over the pup’s neck area would make him slide out much easier. I’m so happy you saved the little man because he would have died if he was left there much longer.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
