Entangled Seal Fights His Rescuer

You never know what you will get as a rescuer, especially when dealing with wild animals. We never know how strong they are, how many fights they have left, how scared they are and how long a rescue might take - and if we will end up in the ocean! Luckily adrenaline takes over and keeps the team focused on the outcome. The team might not get a second chance if the animal gets away.
Three seals were saved in this rescue run thanks to total commitment, great teamwork and a few particular skills. 🦭

Boy, those rescues where the seal reaches the water are so intense! They are so hard to secure once they are in their element of swimming instead of the awkward flipper scooting on sand!! Amazing work for the whole OCN team!! Those were some bad entanglements, so glad those seals were rescued!!

Who's the spotter in the blue kayak? You should make him an honorary team member!🏅

[AryonaSamoto]

I thought that line was gonna pop right off but you had to net them. Glad you all managed to save the ones you targeted🙌 Thank you all🙏❤

[patriciat]

I love the kayak shots, where the seals are swimming so beautifully in the water. So graceful and fluid. Such beautiful animals.
