Seal Rescuer Almost Bitten

This double rescue took place at Cape Cross, Namibia. The OCN team did a patrol morning out there, and came across 2 pups in a small group of animals, very close to the water's edge.
They lost sight of their specific targets, but decided to go in "blind" in hope of still finding them.
On the run in, Naude saw his pup, and managed to grab him by hand. A moment later Denzil saw the second one, and also got him just before he could enter the water....
Naude managed to cut the thin fishing line off the feisty male pup he was busy with. He squirmed angrily as Naude released him, and snapped his mouth - managing to bite the tip of the rescuers glove! He then let go and snapped again, this time tearing a chunk out of Naude's jacket - the same jacket that survived the previous bite!
The second pup was a lot calmer, and also had a thin piece of fishing line around her neck. The line had been on long enough to cause a deep cut, but the skin had grown over the wound and it seemed surprisingly clean. 🦭
