Seal's Jaw Caught On Fishing Hook
Fishing hooks cause unbearable pain for any animal caught on them. No matter if it's the intended species or unfortunate bycatch like seals, dolphins, or turtles: if the animal breaks the fishing line, the hook stays with them for a long time.
Compared to other entanglements, we consider hooks as less serious because they mainly cause wounds and infections, and they will eventually rust away. Loops from fishing line or plastic bags take centuries to decompose and have the potential to suffocate or starve the animal.
This particular case brought together the worst of two worlds: a painful hook stuck in a seals jaw, and 100m of plastic fishing line attached to it. Just imagine how many other animals could have gotten stuck in this fishing line, as the hooked seal dragged it along?

5 Baby Seals Rescued from Rubbish
Переглядів 19 тис.9 годин тому
Rescue runs like this one are immensely stressful. Seals follow their herd instinct, they stick to the first seal that starts running away, even if they cannot see or smell the perceived predators themselves. It is impossible for the rescuers to stay unnoticed and sneak past hundreds of seals to get to the entangled individual. As soon as they are detected by the first one, the mass stampede be...
Entangled Seal Seeks Help From 'Bodyguard'
Переглядів 19 тис.11 годин тому
Fortunately, the “seal bodyguard” didn’t do his job very well and Tony could catch the entangled animal with the big net. It was a big seal and Tony waited for Naude’s help to perform the rescue. We have all gained much-needed experience over the years, but dealing with a seal bull on your own is a big risk. Anything can happen, so having extra hands on deck will always be best and safest. - - ...
Seal Rescued From Rope
Переглядів 29 тис.13 годин тому
We had to go with a blind entry on this rescue mission, meaning we went into the seal colony without seeing any potential target. It has become a very sad reality that even though we didn’t see any specific entanglement beforehand, we still find at least one or two entangled animals in the group. The ocean is full of plastic rubbish and it is getting worse every day. Sadly, we are again expecti...
Entangled Baby Seal Fights Back!
Переглядів 25 тис.16 годин тому
This baby seal had the energy of a future alpha bull! He gave us a hard time, but his fighting abilities gave him a high chance of survival in the wild. A few grams of fishing line around his neck would have ended his promising future too soon. It is an unfair battle between uneven opponents that marine animals can never win. Now that he has been rescued, he can fulfill his destiny and grow int...
Baby Seal Rescued From Plastic Strap
Переглядів 18 тис.18 годин тому
Plastic strap entanglements are unusual at Cape Cross. They are normally found near the Walvis Bay fish factories where they are commonly used to hold together bait boxes. The sudden increase in plastic strap entanglements at Cape Cross is bad news, seals already have to deal with large amounts of recreational fishing line in this area. We will keep an eye on this alarming development! - - - - ...
Quick and Easy Seal Rescue
Переглядів 15 тис.21 годину тому
Another quick and easy kayak rescue for the books. Compared to the sometimes tricky and lengthy rescues, easy rescues give us a chance to regroup quickly and rescue more entangled seals. This bright orange piece of net is not the usual fishing ghost gear we find so often. This piece of plastic net was very likely used to protect cargo or produce. Any plastic has the potential to entangle and ki...
Lonely Seal Rescued From Entanglement

Kudos to the yard workers at the Walvis Bay Fish Factories!! Without their help, it would have been a tough challenge to get to the injured animal. The seal had three plastic straps wrapped around it. None of the straps were cutting into his skin yet, and he lived to see another day. Thank you to everyone who made this rescue possible! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

WOW!!!!! QUE BONITO TRABAJO DE ESTOS JÓVENES LOSFELICITO
Teşekkür ederim demeyi unuttu...
Parabéns. Salvando os animais
Thanks Team OCN for removing that nasty hook✌
Would it not better for the animals and you to anesthetize them? Also you would not stress out the whole pack of animals each time and again.
That reminded me of of nightmare wisdom tooth removal I had performed by a student dentist. I think Naude would have been better for me! Lucky seal.
Coś strasznego😢😢😢
Well done guys! What a save!
Parabens pela atitude❤
❤❤❤👏👏👏👏💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
O my ... that was horrible! This little one must've been in so much pain! 😢 It must've been hard on you too. Thank you so much for carrying on, not giving up and sharing. (I didn't know I could hold my breath this long...) 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙
Wow that was hard to watch. But so glad I did. Go team!
Such a brave seal. Well done guys 👏🏻

Hooks are brutal! Awesome seal save!
🇺🇦❤️🙏Thank you very much Team OCN.
SeaDoggo!
Thank you OCN! It's amazing how patient and calm she was despite her pain. She truly trusted that you were there to help her.❤❤❤
😢😢😢😢 Poor baby God
I'm shocked and horrified and more than a little angry. 🤬🤬 God bless Team OCN for being on the front lines doing this dangerous work!
I dread to think what these poor little guys have to swim through? It must be just a soup of plastic! It really is unforgivable!!! Thank you for helping these wonderful, innocent animals XXXXXXX
What a watch that was. I know she knew what you were doing. How bad you guys must feel when you find out the hook is barbed 🤬 but now she is free 😊 and that length of line is not a hazard anymore!
I absolutely LOVE rescues when there's no wound yet ... thanks for another timely save of another precious life, OCN HEROES 💙
Oh that poor seal! At least it’s gone now and he can heal. Thank you for helping this young one. Man that hurt watching it come out!
Comment for the algorithm. Thanks guys, well done.
Folks please take a minute and *donate* to these heroes!
Wow, what wonderful work you do. Thank You so much. We cut a sea turtle out of a net once when I was a merchant marine.
If only they knew you were there to help the job would be alot easier, am I right? Lol
Glad you picked that one to save before sundown.
Must hurt poor seal 🙏❤️🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ بآرك الله فيكم عمل شاق جدا برافو مليون شكر وتقدير لكم من مصر hard work God bless you thanks from Egypt bravo bravo
WOW! A save and a half there!! And by none other than Capt & 1st mate 👍👍
