Rare seals are snoring them

As many endangered species, the Hawaiian monk seal has succeeded in drawing attention to its many trials – some of which are as weird as they are cruel.

In July, an autossy revealed that three seals have died from a disease called toxoplasmosis, caused by the microscopic parasite taxpasm gonney – which is often found in cat feces.

"Cut Thorn kills seal pops," is a big head. But no one ran with him.

Distressed time calls for desperate measures

Last week, one of the last 1400 monuments of monuments took publicity issues in his own … Flipers, and placed for a photograph with a eagle stuck up his nose.

The blog I was born to write:

Scientists keep their experience with Hawaiian monk seals with them stuck in their noses http://t.co/N2fXbt5SNF pic.twitter.com/clWXRrBCMe

The Honolulu based Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program (HMSRP) – Part of the United States – NOAA Fisheries Agency – posted the photo on its Facebook page last Monday.

"Mondays … it can not be good for you, but it should be better than a wanderer in your nose," said the Bramley Dolan on the program's Facebook page.

My husband explained that this is not a one-off.

Eyelid sniffing epidemic

"We have now found Juvenile seals with AES stuck in their noses for multiple times," she wrote. "In all cases, the e-mail was removed successfully and the seals were fine, but all did not."

Most of the comments on the page were steeply inclined: "When an accident loungers and clamps on your jerk, that's a Moray," wrote Gregory Boness.

"What are the young men studying the unpleasant tackle? Video games?" Said John Beatrice Lol.

Maure Winter gave a mother perspective: "Like little kids and
Peas … "

Predictably, the photo is viral, the Twitter bullet lamented the seal sliding, and more stories have written about the beautiful monk seal in recent days as, well, probably ever.

The first nail-snapping seal was spotted off Hawaii's Lisyansky Island in 2016. The discovery did not make much a picture because most of the eagles had disappeared from the nose and down the seal of the neck, leaving a jewel like a nub that could just How easily became a bizarre growth.

Just keep pulling, slowly

Since then, special protocols – a variety of tools – a trick of pulling a dog out of a pocket – have been developed to remove the words from the souls. Nostrils.

But why they sneer them in the first place? The research program has two theories.

First, seals blindly forage foods with their faces, pushing their mouths and noses under rocks and in the crevices of corals reefs. So it may be that they are aggressively wrapping in the needles as a defense strategy.

The other idea is that these seals are nothing attached, and then regurgitate them by their noses.

But what is it now? The program monitors monk seals for 40 years – and the eyelid snoring is a new phenomenon.

In an explanation, the HMSRP said: "We do not know if it's just a funny statistically anomaly, or if we see more oil in seals in the future."

The leader of the program and science research ecologist Charles Littner told The Washington Post: "It contains one of the teenagers' trends that one jellyfish seal has a very stupid thing and now the others try to imitate it.

"I would like to thank them for them," he said, as it is possible that the oil can be a health hazard to the seals.

They have had enough troubles.

Monk seals are a popular tourist attraction, especially for kayakers looking for an intimate encounter with a sweet-eyed creature.

But monk seals have been struggling to survive since Polynesians launched in Hawaii, about 1500 years ago, and killed most of them for meat and oil.

Among their current troubles there are climate change, disease, toxins and parasites, sharks and, from late, murder by human resourcefulness of the seal protected status: when a seal lands on a populated beach, an exclusion zone is set up, annoying beach- Guyers who want to play with the dogs and otherwise follow their whims.

Save these species is costing $ 378 million ($ 525 million) and take 54 years.
