Cutest Baby Seal Ever Disrupts Rescue

- čas přidán 19. 02. 2021
- Wally and Naude from Ocean Conservation Namibia had a slow day at Cape Cross with only 2 rescues done. They were feeling a little despondent, but all that changed during the second rescue. While they were busy freeing a tiny pup from some binding material, another little pup approached them curiously and would not leave! They were cautious at first, as these guys are prone to biting, but soon realised that he came with no aggressive agenda. He just wanted to say hi and get to know the team:) 🦭

LMFAO
🙏❤️🌹❤️🙏🥰🤗
Best comment ever lmao made my day
Me: **literally crying over the baby seal that was following them**
I Love watching you guys rescue these deals. You have to feel so grateful for what you do. It's terrible sometimes with some of the things you pull off of them. But always a nice ending like this one. Great work guys. Thank You ❤️
first seal be like : IM GONNA DIE
the baby seal: hmm interesting
the curious one was a reporter covering the raid for the student gazette.
Where tf are the comments?
The background seals: watch*
@@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime it's a mystery-
Lol
That little pup is just so pure and loving and inquisitive. Am i the only one to notice those dead pups lying all over the beach?
It is sad, yet perfectly normal, in colonies of tens of thousand pinnipeds to see dead bodies on the beach. Natural causes like predation, starvation and sickness prevent half the Cape fur seal pups to see year one. Older animals are also subject to diseases and injuries. We leave the dead bodies to the seabirds, jackals and hyenas.
@niggymonkeynah
@niggymonkeywhat in the god damn hell are you talking about
@niggymonkeynope
@niggymonkeyBro shut up nobody asked
The sheer skill that this takes! Running across wet rocks and/or sand, avoiding stepping on moving bodies as they flee, and keeping track of that one single seal amongst everything. Mind-boggling.
This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.
@@OceanConservationNamibia Completely understandable, and I agree too. I wish that we as a species had developed in a more environmentally conscientious way.
Still, I just want to say thank you for your time and effort in attempting to save innocent lives from what we as a species have done. And it seems that at least one seal pup was thankful (hint: it wasn't the angry one).
You've obviously never ran cross-country in your entire life lmfao
@@WardenOfTerraoh yeah bud I’m sure you have to dodge panicked seals and wrangle one with your hands as it tries to escape/bite you when running cross country. but you’re so big and strong and different I’ll bet 🥺 what a pick-me
Honestly to a layman, this is really amazing you can pull this off
Baby Seal: You are the guys on youtube, right?
lol good one
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wait what!?
LOL pup got likes ❤️
lololol
Imagine two aliens pinning down a human and you walk up to them like “hey guys wussup?”

If the human clearly had injuries that it could not fix itself and the aliens had the power to help them then yeah I’d be like “wassup”

@@Kyrieru Haha, so true. Every single RPG quest ever made.
@@Futurebound_jpg well we are sentient beings and have a higher keen level of it
I think it’s a prime example of how Mother Nature continually throws different evolutionary traits out to test what works and what doesn’t in the survival of a species……😮😮😊
Mother nature doesn't throw anything at all. The traits appear completely randomly over generations. Under the environment's pressure they are selected and the fittest stays along the way passing down the same mutation to future calfs. Btw it has already happened in the past that a mutation occurred and widely spread across the population, canceling a useful mutation that was allowing those species to survive in it, or at least was usefull in a way but not indispensable. A straight example is our eyes. Lots of mamals used to have more than 4 iris battons (don t remember exactly the scientific term), which would have allowed us to perceive a wider spectrum of the light. But unfortunately we, and other apes, lost it, resulting into narrowing our range of light wave perception😢
@@genekisayan6564 why do traits appear completely random over generations then, isn’t it to pass better traits along to the species for their future survival if that particular trait allows for better survival for the species. I think you took the word “throws” too literally. Apparently having 4 iris battons as you state was not useful enough and so was not retained in our genetic pool. 🙄
Fellow creations of the one true God who yearns to bring you salvation in these last days, repent and turn from sins and unprofitable things which bring nothing but chains over you, tying you to dark thoughts and desires, being slaves to fears and all things which lead to death and destruction both now and after, but be saved by Christ, who in exchange for salvation, only desires righteousness from us, loving others as yourself, loving him and believing he is God, obeying him and his commands which lead to life, and just as Christ overcame this world and it's sin, you will also through his power, so follow Christ and sin no more, and be saved.
@@moojuice369 It's too bad, because I'd love to see into different spectrums of light and have even more colors to gawk at.
But anyways, traits don't really appear 'completely randomly,' rather certain minute changes that suit the environment more tend to result in improved procreation, as those with the changed traits outcompete their competitors either via food and/or mating. As a result of this specialization, species tend to develop their own niches. Honestly, evolution's incredible, and I just love examining/imagining how things have changed over the millenia.
Sadly, none of us live that long, and the best examples we get of "real-time" evolution tends to be in bacteria and viruses. :(
@@genekisayan6564 that's what they meant by 'Mother Nature continually throws different evolutionary traits out' you dunce
Kinda reminds me of my dog. Short snout with a cute little nose, an awkward waddling walk, the vacant look in the eyes… I can see why seals are known as the sea’s version of dogs.
Seadoggos
Not vacant at all...and you think your dog has a vacant look? I'm not so sure you should have one, but at least put some effort into learning to read your animal.
Jeez, I meant that he's not that smart, like the lights are on, but nobody's home. You didn't have to go as far as to say I'm a bad pet owner. I care for him deeply, despite the fact he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.That's just out of line, what you're saying. @@TheEudaemonicPlague
@@TheEudaemonicPlagueWhy did you decide to be an utter ass when the OP was just making a lighthearted joke about their pet? I’m fairly sure they’d know their animal better than you do. I feel sorry for anyone that has to communicate with you on a regular basis.
@@The.Quiet.Kid.Just ignore them. If someone can’t tell when someone else is making a small joke about their furry friend, they probably aren’t too bright themself.
"It looks like it's been primitively sewn together" *The seal watching in horror as its only means of self expression are stripped away*
Does this count as identity theft? 😉
That's hilarious :)
underrated comment lmao
You try sewing without thumbs! - seal
the seal was like "my fricking cravat"
Puppy 1: “halp me bud, dey atac me”
Puppy 2. “Hehe funny hooman”
Hooman
Lmao bye
Haha
I know this is old but maybe there is explanation of why some seals have this odd behavior.
1. It's nothing other then just curiosity.
2. The seal had encounter other humans that either were friendly to him or saved their live.
3. Option 2 but with the parent that probably taught its pup to like humans.
Good job on not giving them affection otherwise they could up being hurt by someone malicious.
Like with all animals, seals have different personalities
The baby seal is so curious and fearless...what a precious little sweetheart!
You can see theres some dead on the shore

And now ppl debunked my prvious comment, sadge
After so many rescues, this is the first of his generation to recognize the guys and what they are doing on the beach.
In a few years, when you guys arrive at the beach: the seals with stuff around their neck will be formed in a nice queue, politely waiting to be helped.
@Jordann
Don’t take this serious dude-
It’s just a nice thing to say
@Jordann uhhhhhhhhh
well now the indiscernibly dark hole in my heart has become even more indescribable, dark, and hole'y
😂😂
Forming a queue? They aren't in England.
they form a line.
You must have saved his mom back in the day. He was smelling with so much intent. The same way my dogs smell someone they recognize but they can't quite place.
It’s always great to see y’all working. The best part is your respect for the animals and treating them as the wild animal they are, less contact the better
Well said! Thanks
Plot twist: the seal was once rescued and is now saying thank u🥰🥰
I would not be at all surprised if that were actually the case. Haha ☺️
i dont think thats your seal
@@theresearcherofart 😂😂
@im300kmh a possibility 😆
I think so. Or it realizes what they've been doing.
Naude gives the pup a whistle to get his attention
Seals are sea doggos confirmed
Fur seals(these guys) and sea lions are totally sea dogs
Seals are sea cats
Look at their snouts, you'll see..
Sea doggos are da sharks
Well they are called seal pups
The word for seal in some languages translates as "seadogs", so yeah, you're right.
Fact: we vietnamese used to call the seals is "Hải Cẩu" which is "sea dog" (cause it look like a dog and it live on the sea,duh)
I think he’s hungry!
He’s looking to nurse 😓
Hopefully mom comes back soon!🥰
The title is misleading that was just a dog.
Water dog
It actually is. These are sea lions.

He probably lost his mommy and he's looking for milk.
AWEEEEE!!!! Yesssss! I was thinking the same!!!! Poor pup!
Very likely.
Sadly, I thinks so aswell. If it's so, he won't last long.
or an autograph
🤔👍🏼
so sweet to see you already have some fans in the seal community.
Maybe his parents told them the story about a rescue team of angels that helped mommy or daddy to survive.
And he wanted to see them himself.
That little pup was so adorable I'm afraid I would have petted him 😘 You guys are awesome to be able to see anything out of place on a seal 😘🥰
I find it extremely impressive how from the street they can spot something as a thin as a fishing line, tied around the neck of a seal and how they don't lose sight of that seal even in the midst of hundreds of them. Even if they're using binoculars, that's extremely impressive.
@@maureen669 I believe that they might be using binoculars.
In this case, they might have been alerted by the park warden
@@kyrab7914 yeah probably but they still were able to spot which seal was the one entangled and keep track of it
Perhaps they look out for seals who move strange and look impaired.
Often you can see the entangled ones move slower and unnaturally.
@@lo0k3r yeah that would certainly be easier to spot. It's a pretty interesting and plausible theory.
Something special to note - even though the second pup was filled with curiosity and friendliness, the OCN Team resisted the overwhelming urge to pet and cuddle him for being both adorable and accessible! In his future, humans are not likely to be equally kind, so this preserves his wild instincts to mistrust humans.
Next time i see a wild animal ill be sure to clap my hands and yell loudly to preserve their natural instincts
@@simplyskrypt3914ISTG I'D DO THE SAME (ᗒᗩᗕ)
@@simplyskrypt3914 or they might feel threatened and attack you
@@ziggy481 i am a pretty tasty buffet for bears, ngl
If I ever do this I’ll be sure to tie the fishing line back on after taking it off to conserve their instinct that humans can harm them
Chances are the pup was smelling the scent from the other seals. So cute. Thank you for the job your do in protecting these lovely seals.
The baby had heard stories how some humans had helped his Seal family by removing nets,hooks and strings.
It was thrilled to see them in person.😂
Wildlife experts: don't pet wild animals or they get attached
*seal hops to people and being adorable*
ok but what about 1 belly rub
This is not a job for me. I couldn't resist giving them all the love!!!
Experts: NO.

Well I mean so I fell and accidentally gave one a belly rub... Sooooo hes attached... So nothing you can do about that... Sooooo hes like mine now
Oscar no
@@moregltfirephotography4857 the law of the sea
The pup was more curious than anything, going back and forth like "these are strange creatures, they do not appear harmful, they smell funn- hey get back here I'm not done inspecting!!"
More likely he was looking for a nipple . . .
I bet his friends dared him to go up to the guys!
I wonder if they have seal 'lore' and discuss the strange land monkeys that actually assist and come to their aide?
@@anniebananie7887 🧢
They are giving the love back to you! So sweet! The goodwill ambassadors with a message of grace and gratitude. 😊🤗😺❤️
Maybe the second seal had been rescued before and remembered the kind rescuers who saved him.
I totally understand why they can’t pet or befriend the seals. But, it would be so hard not to give that cutie a scritch. Good job guys, for all that you do…
They get to cheat when they have a seal captured & taking care of the problem. You see a lot of back rubbing.
@@jjon5606 qnd that is why I thought that petting is harmful no more than animal enviornmentalism extremes
I'm upset there are so few videos of seals being pet that i have to pet one myself to satisfy the urge
It would be hard for me not to 😅 i admire their strength from the temptations. But these seals need their instincts to survive in the wild sadly.
Yeah If you show them love they will seek it from a cuddly bear next
The little guy just wanted to thank the OCN team for saving his mum, dad, and brothers... :)
What a delightful thought!

Terima kasih sudah menolong...... kalian berhati mulia
Poor thing was searching. He was hungry. Hope his momma didn’t abandon him.
"Hes an angry one, because we took away his cool bandana" Lmao
I bet he smelled the seals rescued with that net and assumed it was wally's scent, then he sniffed naud's gloves which probably smelled like seal so the pup was like "you guys are the craziest seals I've ever seen! why the long flippers?"
As well as some optical defects lol . Probably wont last long hasnt got a strong fear factor
@@Rusty_Gold85 that's an awfully pessimistic way of thinking about it.
@@tikkittok No it's nature.
@@kaspervestergaard2383 Right. Nature has its nurturing side but is most often brutal. It is unapologetic.
@@Rusty_Gold85 Don't know about any optical defects but the pup because it doesn't have a strong fear of humans will have better chances at getting rescued than the others
Thats how the scientists in every species evolve. He’s probably giving lectures about humans to other seals now.
God bless you guys.
He's actually the rescuer quality assurance inspector, he has to make sure your nets are up to code

@@rc-wl6od get out
🤣
😂🤣
That seal that was walking up to them with literally the definition of a sea puppy
Even coming towards him when he whistled for its attention
Literally. We have dogs because some wolves had less of a fear response and were naturally more curious. Through generations this cultivated into our furry friends in our homes now.
Good day OCN! Thanks to your hard work, a lot of these baby seals even exist. This sweet baby was not traumatized by the harsh realities of living with the human dilemma. I hope it never comes close to the painful netting, straps, hooks and garbage its cousins were/are entangled in. You are Superheroes for caring & doing something to Help. Much respect & love.
this little one seems to understand what you guys are doing 😍
I think you can tolerate a bystander like that when you do your important job. He seemed very curious and docile.
Not the worst bystander by far! haha

@@rayromano6249 I ain't no biologican, but don't their moms leave them alone while being fishing, for days, anyways? And they can find each other again in the colonies. So I just see people saving lives, not taking.
perfect way of interaction with wild animals. no unnecessary touching, letting it be curious for a minute, and then back into its habitat.
would touching in this case be dangerous or harmful?
@@peorakef it can be dangerous in two ways, first of all, no matter how cute a wild animal is a wild animal, it can bite you at any moment but the most concerning thing for people like the recorder isn't themselves being in danger, but the animal, if you pet it or do things that you shouldn't it might become used to interacting with humans and as it grows that gets progressively more dangerous for both it and the humans. it's why (in an extreme example) people are always told not to feed bears, you do not want wild animals to associate humans with food.

Kept thinking the same to. What if it came across a predator instead of a nice human being? It is still young so there is time
@fak series They are fools, they can't tell. What likely happened is the pups mom died and it was hungry, it was on the skinny side. It was attracted to the nets shape (designed to house a seal, it has a similar shape, they do not have great eyesight) and then just followed the people. If you take a look at the beach it's littered in dead pups and adult seals. As sad as it is, this is perfectly normal and one of natures ways of keeping population numbers down.
@fak series some animals can tell the difference.
The world can be a cruel place but generally they clearly have many more problems with human waste than humans themselves in this area.
@@DigitalRX2r "It was attracted to the nets shape (designed to house a seal, it has a similar shape, they do not have great eyesight)"

@@High_Tech_Priest It’s the world we live in 🤷🏾♀️. Evil just has no logic to it, it’s there to simply destroy.
@@High_Tech_Priest They are often considered a nuisance to fishers because they appear to create competition. But it's really man-made problems that create fish shortages, not the seals. Also, there is a seal hunting season in Namibia. Seal harvesting in Namibia targets approx 86,000 seal pups and 8,000 adult bulls per year. Trusting humans and their ships and harbors make them easy targets. Also having full grown seals who are interested in humans can be a nuisance issue and may lead to more people being inclined to interact with them. And you irritate wild animals enough they will eventually start being hostile to some people. They can be extremely territorial, especially when it comes to their babies. It's better to leave all wild animals alone unless you are a rehabilitator or are doing rescue work.
@@High_Tech_Priest my dad's a fisherman and he hates sea lions because they'll climb onto his boat and steal all the little bait fish (seems like a lack of fear of people might be a fairly common trait for these guys lmao). don't think he's ever actually hurt one though, just runs them off and then complains about it at home lol
@@griffy9639 yeah same goes for my uncle, I do think he keeps a few more baitfish just for that exact reason (or like… sardines I think? He doesn’t use those for bait but for the sea lions, it’s their ocean too, he’s just doing it for the amusement now he’s retired)

Little guy has a higher soul then the other pups. More artistically gifted.
They're the dogs of the ocean. And if we were water-people, we'd keep them as pets.
It breaks my heart to see our garbage hurting them so badly. It is my most fervent hope that humans will come to understand that we are THE keystone species on this planet, and that we are capable of always working with nature, rather than against it, and that one day we will undo much of the harm we have wrought on the other species of this world. You are a fine example of what being a keystone species is all about: helping to recognise and undo the harm we cause as a species. Taking responsibility for a small part of it, and doing your best for our animal friends. Thank you very kindly.

Right!!??... Naude did just very Covertly Rescue an Entangled Mama on Christmas Day!!!💖😃😍🤗😙😉... And I Believe it was one of his 1st Rescues since the Temporary Rescue Pause... After the Birth's of the New Pups!!!🤗😉.... So Yeah, It could of just been tryin' to say Thanks for Saving My Mama!!!💖😃😍🤗😙😉....
I like that Proposal Possibility... Much better than the ones saying it was probably looking for milk because it lost its Mama!!??😓😢😞... So Yeah... Let's go with our Proposal...K?😉
That's exactly what I was going to say... 👍
Whatever the reason might have been - it put a smile on the rescuers' faces, which is something they well deserve.
I'mma chalk it up to Karma.
Maybe the little guy was a viewer of your channel... big fan...
😂😂😂😂
Big time!!
He subscribed, all notifications are on, lol
Gli manca la parola per ringraziarvi, bravi.
That friendly little pup was probably very hungry. The way it was seeking out the black colored net as well as the dark colored gloves. I hope it's mother came back soon
As cute as that is, it scares me that he feels no fear towards humans he has never met, as clearly not all humans are always going to be so nice.
He’s never been hunted by humans so it felt no threat. They’re in their appropriate habitat and there are ppl who guard the beach for their safety
I got scared thinking that too...hopefully the park rangers and other security measures can keep him/ her safe!! 🤗
Other humans aren't wearing clothes that reek of seals, though. 😂😂😂
Was thinking same. They didnt pet or feed for a food reason. They are easy to train- see seaquariums. Amazing how they balance balls
it has no reason to fear, fear is evolved.
Puppy is trying to apply for a job as an informant. He's going to snitch on all the other seals to get on the OCN payroll of 2 extra snacks a day.
Too PRECIOUS for words!! How I envy you, being able to be so close to these Beautiful animals’n🥰
It's not a puppy.
@@stefanpirvu2559 the official name for a seal's offspring is a pup. If cats have kittens, seals have seal pups. So in essence, it is a puppy.
OCN team looks like he has recognized you and hanging around you to say a BIG Thanks to you ALL.👍👍
They were probably also rescued and wanted to stop by and say hello, they may just not know not all humans are good and were probably watching them
He rejected his boring world. He's too smart for those other seals. But what he doesn't know is the human world would've disappointed him even more😂
Why?
@@dylanb2990 There r people killing thousands of them every month. You can search for these on CZcams.
@@dylanb2990 lol, the answer to that question is apparent.
@@Defirence idk man, if that seal found a really good owner he could've been living the absolute life
Jonathon Livingston Sea Seal.
I've probably watched this a dozen times and it still warms this old brute's heart. This crew deserves a medal of humanity award because the work they do enriches lives, both animal and human. Truly
@@jasjas8232 How do you know this?
They've earned a crown in heaven for sure!
COULDN'T AGREE MORE
I bought a shirt from them, the link is in their pinned message but if people don’t want to do that, I think if you let the ads play through and don’t skip, it’s better for the channel. Correct me if I’m wrong but someone told me that on an educational video I was watching.
Yes they deserve medals for the act of kindness. I love this team!
That seal gave zero point zero fucks about them being humans.
So very cool.
So cute, I watch this so many times.
Other baby seal be like: "I can't do much, but leave my friend alone 🥺"
"I'll distract them!"
That pup looks hungry. I hope his mom is still around
@@Dowlphin I saw a report on TV a few weeks ago ... Seal 's were being watched there ... the mother went fishing. Puppy was so hungry and looked for his mother and begged the other mothers, but they chased him away ... 😢 on the 3rd day he was lying limp between the rocks when finally the "bad" mother came back ... with the last of his strength he crawled to Mom and was finally allowed to drink milk ... Conclusion: they are not social ...
@@TheFelifa No, they will not tolerate any pup not their own suckling from them. There are occasional exceptions, but it's rare. And it's easy intellectually to understand why. Their milk is so rich the mothers' bodies are drained just to nurse one pup, let alone two or more.
@@TheFelifa oh my GOD that just broke my heart right in two. Poor little baby.
Wouldn't it be amazing if they recognized the fact that you guys are helping!
Humans: *helping seal*
Seal: hey guys! what are ya doin?
You're cringe, pls, go in the jail
What is that profile picture
Lol sorry but this comment mostly got my attention from the profile picture lol
He looks younger than the other pups, maybe he’s looking for his mom poor bb ❤️
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 eh not necessarily. I just watched a video of a baby deer following and crying to hikers for help bc it was starving (the mom had died or likely abandoned him), and there is no way it had been fed by or seen a human before. with wild animals, that will to survival will sometimes override their natural instincts to avoid humans, plus baby animals can often be less cautious and more curious than adults.
@@NelleBear I sure hope the hikers fed and helped it and got it to a place that can feed and rehab it to let it go once its older
that seal is going to remember the curious creatures he saw, and how his friend was magically able to run and play better
I love how the one they’re rescuing is freaking out and then his buddy is just like “hi guys! I love you!”
>Imagine the sheer panic and confusion when the land predator ignore all the other seals behind you and just went straight for you
So much for the "I don't need to be the fastest running away from the monster. Just not the slowest." defense...
