‘Make better choices’: Endangered Hawaiian monk seals keep getting eels stuck up their noses and scientists want them to stop

That’s the actual headline of the article. It’s an archived article from 2018, so I have no idea the source, but here’s the same story from the Guardian.
Short answer, they don’t know how this happens. Three or four juvenile seals were found with eels jammed up their noses in the two years prior to 2018. I mean, really jammed in some cases.
No idea if it still happens, but I would guess not. A quick Google search only turned up articles from 2018.
I saw it, so you had to. Have a good weekend, everyone!
