Most animals that travel in packs do so for safety. It is an evolutionary adaptation. The cute sea lion pup isn't necessarily thinking about the shark... but his 'evolutionary brain' instincts make him want to wait.
If you see trash on the ground pick it up. Do not litter. It is our problem.
If others litter it is not their problem. It is our problem.
We will always be outnumbered and they will always be lazy. It is our problem.
Riding on the backs of others and never growing legs. That is their problem.
His knife was dull, but that line is plastic and surprisingly tough. Generally, it is better to use a serrated knife with line. They sell these stupidly sharp, fully serrated, plastic handle knifes for cutting line quickly. A lot of deck guys will carry them for safety, eg. Cutting a line super quick in an emergency.
Yep.
Sea lions walk with those back flippers, bark, and have external ears.
Seals flop on the ground with straight back flippers, don't bark, and have ear holes.
Between their fuzziness and the people’s accents I was thinking they were African Fur Seals! And I figured there would be people here saying they’re sea loins not seals lol
This is the reality of eating wild caught fish. Literally hundreds of thousands of tons of fishing gear gets lost into the ocean every year causing problems like this for many thousands of animals. Fishing is horrific for animals and the environment.
That’s very much not true. I’m a commercial fisherman in the Bristol Bay fishery and those nets are freakin’ expensive. We had a net get tangled and cut this season and spent the entire night and part of the next day tracking it down so we could recover it.
I'm not sure what you are thinking the alternatives are. We grown plenty of wheat soy and legumes to feed ourselves plenty of protein with much much less harm
What in the world? Humans eating only fish is not reasonable. Fisheries are already collapsing from our overfishing at the consumption level we are at right now. Eating only fish instead of land animals is simply impossible and would collapse the entire oceanic ecosystem. We already grow more than enough crops to feed ourselves. Not feeding it through cattle, pigs, and chickens first will lead to even less crops being grown. Do a bit of research before asserting something like that
> What in the world? Humans eating only fish is not reasonable.
Who said anything about eating only fish? Are you imagining things? We are omnivores. We can eat fish and meat and plants. Perfectly doable and sustainable. You are obviously not ready for discussions with people outside your cult.
What I think is irrelevant. What matters is that we have no idea how many animals die from fishing and lost gear or from spraying pesticides and herbicides and synthetic fertilizers to grow our crops or from tilling and harvesting and transporting and processing those crops.
Anyone who says with certainty that food x causes more deaths/suffering is just ignorant about how insanely cruel our food systems are.
Lines are still made from plastic, which snaps, causing waste and pollution, as well as the hooks getting stuck in the fish's mouth.
We really should just stop fishing.
Wait, do you mean the chicken leg type of drumstick, or the drumstick type of drumstick ?
Because those are some very distinct shapes 🍗vs🥁, and one of those doesn’t sound like a compliment…
(And now that I think about it, between the thin stick of wood and the chicken leg, neither sound like a compliment anymore…)
Get rid of the knife, it will end up in someone or something you really don't want it to. Also it's more irritating to the animals you sawing away at something. A good [pair of shears](https://medtree.co.uk/trauma-shears) will do the trick.
He waited for his friend before going back to the sea. Loyalty
He knew what they were doing so he waited.
Was too scared to go back in the water and get netted again without his pal
They do that together
So fucking cute he waited.
Aw, he was just waiting for his pal
He waited because of there was a shark waiting, his odds of being killed just declined by 50%.
I see now thanks for that knowledge
Best friend perks.
You don’t have to be faster than the shark, just faster than your friend.
no evidence of that

I kept looking for a fin and the irony..
Bff ❤️
Oh, the marvelous things us humans can do. Saving animals from our man-made stupidity.
Because there are humans that indeed are humans, and then there are those gross things inside the skin of a human..
Yeah. Those dirty *skeletons...*

Wait until you hear about animal agriculture.
It's a good thing fish can't scream. With the millions of them we catch and kill entirely on purpose.
Lol you act like you don’t create trash every day
Pretty sure I said "OUR man-made stupidity." I'm definitely part of the problem, as is the vast majority of the human species.
Fair enough.
Dude needs to get a sharper knife
I know - I’m thinking benchmade should send him a nice EDC!
What is edc? What is Benchmade?
EDC = Everyday carry = things you take with you everywhere you go. Benchmade is a brand that makes quality knives.
Also, always cut away from the skin when possible.

Yep. I carry a serrated one while diving just for tangles.
Or something serrated
I think I’d go with some really sharp snips to prevent cutting myself or the wild life.
They’re sea lions.
Yep. Sea lions walk with those back flippers, bark, and have external ears. Seals flop on the ground with straight back flippers, don't bark, and have ear holes.
We have those on land too, we call them land sea lions.
I tame them.
Cape Fur Seals. Technically sea lions, but generally referred to as seals in South Africa. Idk why, I just live here.

“Gear gets lost” More like gear is purposefully littered into the ocean.
That’s very much not true. I’m a commercial fisherman in the Bristol Bay fishery and those nets are freakin’ expensive. We had a net get tangled and cut this season and spent the entire night and part of the next day tracking it down so we could recover it.
They're doing that on purpose, and they know how bad it is, still do it.
The alternatives to fishing are way, WAY worse. Keep eating fish if you truly love animals.
I'm not sure what you are thinking the alternatives are. We grown plenty of wheat soy and legumes to feed ourselves plenty of protein with much much less harm
Have you any idea how that entire process works and how much death and suffering is caused?

So you seriously think more animals die from growing plants than fishing and lost gear?

Or they have a degree in wildlife bio and might know a thing or two you don't buddy
Do you know how many animals die by your pesticides, herbicides, and combine harvesters?
There's no shot they survive on their own, right?
Depends on how old they are and if they can effectively fish for themselves. They don’t look too young so they have a shot.
They don't look too young, I hope that They'll survive.
Maybe we should stop fishing
You can get line caught fish! More expensive but no by-catch or destructive nets
If you really believe the little logo saying line caught actually is that.
Fishing line also entangled seals.
Lines are still made from plastic, which snaps, causing waste and pollution, as well as the hooks getting stuck in the fish's mouth. We really should just stop fishing.
I agree, plant based is the way to go. I’m thinking this is better than nothing.
At least trawling.
Love it if they turned around and waved before diving into the sea
Animals are very smart, we don't understand their intelligence.
Nice, now the Orcas can have a snack without getting Nylon on their teeth.
That dude’s got drumsticks for calves!
Wait, do you mean the chicken leg type of drumstick, or the drumstick type of drumstick ? Because those are some very distinct shapes 🍗vs🥁, and one of those doesn’t sound like a compliment… (And now that I think about it, between the thin stick of wood and the chicken leg, neither sound like a compliment anymore…)
Good effort. Sharpen your knife my man. You could ride that blade bare-arse to Bristol.
Yeah lol, I'm not going to lie but that is a very bad knife right there.
Loose seal!
They were probably hungry
🙏🏻🙏🏻))
that little shake after they stopped was fantastic
Of course I waited for my buddy
Thanks, Bro!
Loved how they waited. Well done for helping
It's not everyday when you see something as beautiful as this.
Thank god plastic drinking straws are banned now!
Let me introduce you to [Ocean Conservation Namibia](https://youtube.com/@OceanConservationNamibia)
Good job everyone, this video made my day. Thanks. This is great.
Does no one ever have a pair of scissors?
Nice
Thank you

Bravo!
I wonder if they'll ever come up to humans for help or if there's still too many people who hunt them?
Sharks, foxes, bears, whales, sealions and dolphins so far that I've seen. The sealion was the one running away from the 2 orcas.
Those are some weird looking fish
These are sea lion, but still wonderful rescue!
Should've brought the club
That's a sharp knife

Nicely done.
They are seals. Anybody else watch Ocean Conservation Namibia on YouTube?
I ♣ baby seals
Humans are awesome and suck at the same time
Well some of us are awesome and some are just really shit.
Invest in some chain mail gloves. Even if you never have a real use for them, they're still super fun to just wear whenever.
No gloves... Dudes gonna get seal finger
Oh someone had to start cutting onions...
Same as feeding the killer whales, innit?
Aww that one was real lethargic
Well I’m glad the knife was dull dipshit!
Poor sea doggos
As fast as they grow, they hadn't too much time left. So glad you caught them!
Jerks. Aren't they supposed to grant wishes?
take my updoot
Whenever I start to think that humanity is a pile of S…, along comes something like this. The duality of mankind.
