2 Baby Seals Rescued From Entanglements

In this well coordinated Cape Fur Seal rescue, Naude and Antoine from Ocean Conservation Namibia chase down 2 youngsters at the same time.
Naude manages to grab a young male seal with a piece of white cotton string around his neck. It's not a big entanglement, but something like this can still cause major damage to these animals.
At the same time Antoine chases down a bigger female pup with a white plastic packaging strap around her neck. This pup is strong and quite aggressive, so Antoine decides to wait for Naude to finish and come to help.
Once Naude arrives, they decide it's probably safest to fetch the net, instead of risking one of them getting bitten again. Antoine returns soon with the net and they cut the strap and the seal is happily on her way again. 🦭

I love the way Antoine talks to the pups. Say what you like, but they feel your emotions, and the emotions he projects are calm and trusting. That's why they stop struggling and look back at him as if to say "If you're not going to hurt me, why are you hanging onto my butt?" These guys are heroes.

Permit me a moment to express my deep gratitude and appreciation of Antoine! "Its okay baby, its okay"

Wherever you go sir, the very best of luck and success.

In this midst of our current pandemic, economic fiasco, and climate crisis, your seal rescues help give me a modicum of hope for this world every day. Worth every penny I donate!

Nothing but applause from Korea. Thanks.

Aw, I just saw the news about Antoine leaving. Naude should be on the lookout for a massive seal protest! With “We want Antoine back!” Signs!😂🥰

[moonstruck]

Thank you for your service Antoine 🙏
You will be greatly missed... 😢

[willmay]

We are going to miss Antoine when he's not in the vids no more, you guys make a great team.

[joannegele]

I will miss Antoine. Who will help Naude then? You are his best partner! 👬

[chooff]

Love you guys and all the wonderful work you do! Good luck Antoine in your next adventure. Looking forward to your return.
Love from USA!!

Your reflexes & cardiovascular system have to be in prime condition to catch wild animals with sharp pointy teeth! Thank you❣

[davidbroughall]

It's a good thing for you that these seals are like "Every man for himself!"

[keeperw.s]

Antoine: Nonononononono don't bite.
Naude : NOPE.
Both have individuality!

Came here waiting for Antoine to say "puppy". Was not disappointed. 😊😍

[SiliconScribe]

Antonie is the most wholesome kind person in the world - "no puppy, no bit! here to help!" I adore his kindness and understanding the seals might be feeling. I can't help but watch ever upload and see what a difference these guys are making.

[verotoday]

love how Tony talks to pups in almost every video! Very glad about your job, hope many kids see it and think differently than most of adults! Great job guys! ❤️❤️❤️

[vassel]

You became one of the main reasons that I open youtube everyday couple of times. Best of luck and love from Turkey

[Dawnseeker]

Antoine talking the seal out of biting is pretty nice to hear, and it works!

[ramonakreutle]

Ive heard of Snake Charmers. Now I've witnessed a "Seal Charmer". Love Antoine's charm and sweet talk:
"..No...Dont Bite...You Dont Bite...We Are Here To Help..."
