Huge Seal Bull too Big for Rescue Net!

Publicado 2024-02-24
When we are dealing with a big proud alpha seal bull like this one, a rescue needs more strategy and planning than our usual catch, cut, and release approach. Unfortunately, we didn’t have that time on our hands and had to think on our feet, especially because he didn’t even fit in our rescue net. All three rescuers joined forces and secured him, cut the entanglement, and released him. He has earned our respect!

    That's what I love about you guys...no matter how big the seal, you are committed to freeing it from whatever rubbish it's caught in. This huge bull probably outweighed the 3 of you put together, but you found a way to help him. Thank you so much!❤
  • @Mcat7101
    Gosh, you must have needed every bit of your nerve to tackle that bull. Even his noises weren’t the normal grumbles, but a full-on menacing growl. Thank you for saving both seals - your kindness and courage to help them all, whatever their size or the difficulty, know no bounds, and all whilst educating us all about the perilous state of our oceans. I understand your message that you wish you hadn't had to develop the skills, but for all the seals you have saved, and for those you will go on to save, I am so grateful you have.

    Now that's one big bull. Thankfully, the net didn't get distoryed like the orange net was. A big thank you to the people who make and donate the nets.
  • That was one of the most magnificent animals I have ever seen on that beach. He really tested your physical limits. Thank you so much for freeing him. He is so beautiful. Spirit keep you well. ❤❤
  • The fact that the massive bull was rescued with minimal swearing until the end is even more impressive to me. 😅
  • @cheechee5378
    OCN my Family I miss you all soo much. My husband had a stroke and a heart attack. I am very busy caring for him.. But wow that was one huge Seal. I am happy you were able to cut him out of that entanglement. But that is what my superheroes do, they protect and serve, even the seals :) Love you all. I will be back when i can..
  • Two great rescues, that bull was huge. Credit to the net makers for making them strong enough for a seal that big & strong !
  • @tctcllc6949
    Wow! What a beast! You didn’t know I was helping - I kept pressing my brakes !
  • @karenplath_
    That's one gorgeous seal, I tell you. Strong efforts paid off. But wet jeans on a chilly day deserves another cup of coffee and more cookies. ☕😊
  • @utahyork3338
    That big bull is telling the younger seals how he stood up to the humans and escaped! You might need a bigger net. 😂
  • A day to remember ! From a big hard fight to a delicate surgery... Well done, guys, you're the best ! Thank you for saving these two beautiful seals.
  • @nicklager1666
    Christ lucky you have the saltwater as an extra team member in this rescue. The bulls are like freight trains.
  • That huge boy wore the net like a hat. I didn’t think he would ever fit in. For a change, the target hitting the water actually helped to get him netted. Wonder if the extra large monster net was used? Any skin left on the soles of Naude’s feet after that? Once again truly, WELL DONE Gentlemen 🦭🌊💙

    This just shows the experience and how dangerous this job can be. Thankfully team communication and strength worked to save this Bull. This could have turn out badly if not for their skills. Then saving the pup and almost getting bit was another life saved. Imagine the adrenaline dump after these rescues! :thanksdoc:
  • @KPWHU
    Oh bravo guys! That was a great job saving that magnificent beast and the little pup as well.
  • @tgawron2233
    He was a big boy! Great work men! Thank you OCN!
  • It was a smaller bull that dragged Naude at the dock last November. I figured Naude would be going for a swim this time. Gives new meaning to "catching the bus". Those big boys are relentless, and smart. They don't get that big without knowing some tricks.
  • @hendriklurse6518
    Thank you my heroes for saving him ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼 and wishing you all a nice weekend 😊
  • @CTHou13
    That was intense! But so satisfying to watch that bull take a first deep breath for who knows how long. incredible teamwork. And the pup quite had a lot to say too. Thank you for saving these beautiful creatures.
