A perfect scenario for rescuer Antoine – he has identified a big seal with a piece of packing strap around his neck at the Walvis Bay Harbour. The seal is resting on old tires at the jetty and does not hear or see him approach from behind, and Antoine can cut the entanglement with his rescue hook with one clean movement, and the animal is free to go.

Thank you very much for supporting our work!
that is quite the sight to watch!
i really like that hook cutter…. seems like it helps reach the seals that you otherwise would not be able to capture.
excellent job, as always!
Perfect stealth, Tony. Nicely done.
These guys can surely rush in. But sometimes they can go sneaky beaky like.
Great job!!
You'll find that hook realy useful, I just know but even 1 life saved with it is good, but unfortunately I know you will be able to use it a lot more. Well done ,good design. Xx
just in one snap and its done😁 perfect rescue♥️
yay!! you guys are amazing!😊
Awesome job Tony! 🙏🦭❤️
Last dive trip I went on had turned into a sudden rescue mission. Two seals were tangled into shreds of net by the flippers. It was tough but me an my Dad were able to trick them to go on land with fish we were gutting after hunting. I really appreciate what you guys do cuz that was HARD to do! But we were lucky an they took off with a fish head treats on their own separate ways.
Tony has the greatest attitude, personality and skillset for this job. When he works alone, we are all entertained with his wit, wisdom and charm. Nice sneaky rescue with the long hook.
Thanks!
🙏
even with the strap being loose around the seals neck, it would have worked it's way under the seals skin. a nice tool that works great for certain time. great save
Wow…very useful tool. First time I am seeing this pole
Great work Tony. Awesome sunset too.
Like a ninja!!
Respect.
Wow! !!Bravo!! Perfecto!!!!!!🦭🦭🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️🙏🌈♥️
Well done there…..
Fantastic filming Antoine (along with your irreplaceable commentary of course😉) Was I the only one trying to crane my neck to look over the edge at that big boy with Antoine lol. Whoever devised that piece of 'kit' was an Einstein as it works brilliantly!!! Quick as a 'Denzil' and off he splashed 🌊🌊 Fab to see and the hook caught the strap too 😀😃 x x
That was a very slick move that resulted in a successful operation!

The Real Animal ( or beast) is the " Man ".
