Wildlife Rescue Videos
World Vets works together with the Galapagos National Park Rapid Response Program to respond 24/7 to injured wildlife on San Cristobal Island. This Galapagos sea lion had a scuba mask strap around its neck. It was successfully removed, and the sea lion was released on site. World Vets is authorized to do this work through an official agreement with the Galapagos National Park.
A pelican in Galapagos was choking on a large fish tail lodged in its gular pouch. The Rapid Response Team arrived right away to capture the pelican and successfully removed the obstruction.
A sea lion was reported with a plastic spool tight around its neck. World Vets responded together with Galápagos National Park Rangers by boat to the remote location on San Cristóbal Island. The World Vets team carried out a search to locate the sea lion, captured it and successfully removed the hard plastic ocean debris. In the past year our veterinary team, together with rangers, has responded to over 650 wildlife cases on the Galápagos Islands.
This one calls for some muscle. When an adult male sea lion became entangled with part of a tire, World Vets and Galápagos National Park Rangers came to the rescue. Together they skillfully captured the sea lion and removed the entanglement.
World Vets is grateful to the SeaWorld Conservation Fund and our other generous donors who make this important work possible.
