Tiny Baby Seal Stuck Between Big Rocks

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. 🦭

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.

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!🦭😍🙏

"Definitely the biggest, heaviest entanglement we've ever to deal with." 🤣ROFL!

[Dellboy]

That’s what’s known as “being stuck between a rock and a hard place”
Great work, guys 👍

[wallacebell]

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.

Your videos have far more drama, fun, tension, and excitement than anything Hollywood has put out lately.

What a lucky little puppy you spotted him. I hope he found his mommy and stays away from those rocks. 💜

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.

The way you talk to these seals, this is more than a job, it's a passion. Such kind people.

OMG His sweet angelic innocent face
he's so tiny 😭😭

[trudywolfe]

He looked so sad and now he's very happy. Thank you guys for being his hero.

Oh my... I was on the edge of my seat. What a save for that little pup. Good job!

[lindac]

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!🦭👏👊💙

*_Fascinating bit of Baby Seal info: that they can go for DAYS, alone and unfed, while their mother is foraging offshore._* Remarkable; something that I would never have thought possible. With OTHERS here, I hope for the best regarding its REUNION with its mother; at which time the little one will have an amazing story to tell, about which his mother may justifiably be just a bit skeptical. [Haha!] Anyway, thank all you OCN guys and gals for the rescue, resulting in a young life extended; a life now re-opened to all kinds of possibilities and wonders.

[ainovortex]

Oh my god, he is so tiny and cute thank you sooo much for saving this little guy!

[reneeblair]

Hope the seal finds its mom, thank you for setting this pup free. You guys are terrific how you help the seal community..
