He Bit Down and Refused to Let Go! (Tense Seal Rescue)

It has been a while since we've received a "love bite" like this! Getting bitten is a constant, looming risk our team takes every single time we step onto the sand. Most days, we are incredibly lucky to return home completely unharmed. But every once in a while, these seals give us a little warning that they are powerful, wild predators who won't go down without a fight. If only they could use those sharp teeth to fight off the plastic entanglements destroying their homes! Luckily, Antoine escaped completely uninjured thanks to the heavy armor of his rescue glove. Even when he had to remove the glove for a few tense moments to remove a piece of stubborn gill net, the seal didn't manage to strike again. As rescuers, we always try to prioritize our own safety, but it is nearly impossible not to get carried away when an animal's face is completely bound in netting and you know you are their absolute only chance at survival. Thank you for watching, keeping our team in your thoughts, and supporting our mission! 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please visit our website to find out more about our work and how to support us: ➡ Website: https://www.ocnamibia.org/ ➡ Donate via Paypal: https://ow.ly/BTm550PIavq ➡ Donate via Stripe: https://ow.ly/Xy1F50PIMzQ ➡ Support via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OCN ➡ FAQs: https://www.ocnamibia.org/faqs Follow us on social media: ➡ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oceanconservationnamibia/ ➡ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OCNamibia ➡ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oc_namibia ➡ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ocnamibia/ ➡ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ocnamibia 😊 Thank you for every like, share, comment and subscribe 😊 Ocean Conservation International is registered as a non-profit organisation under chapter 501(c)3.
