A HEARTWARMING video exhibits the second a bunch of Scots offshore employees rescue a seal that had turn out to be trapped on their vessel.

The crew then slowly decrease the sprawling inexperienced internet down into the pool to try to seize the seal – taking three makes an attempt earlier than efficiently nabbing the creature.

The crew then heave on the ropes in unison earlier than cheers erupt because the seal is efficiently raised to the protection of the deck.

The seal, tangled within the internet and seemingly terrified, is comforted by the employees, who focus on the opportunity of grabbing the animal some meals and permitting it to relaxation on the deck.

One employee manages to free the seal from changing into strangled by the web, leaving the visibly drained creature to relaxation for some time.

The clip then cuts to afterward, because the crew assist return the seal to its pure habitat, lifting the web over the aspect of the ship.

They decrease the web, with the seal inside it, down in direction of the ocean earlier than the creature rolls over the aspect, tumbling into the water beneath with a splash.

It hesitates and appears again up on the employees in an obvious gesture of thanks earlier than swimming off below the waves to a refrain of cheers from its onlooking rescuers.
