December 3 – The Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program, which is part of the United States' NOAA Fisheries agency, posted a photo on its Facebook page that showed a seal with an eel lodged firmly in its right nostril. This was just the latest in a long (and wriggly) line of eel invasions to strike the Hawaiian monk seals — a phenomenon that was first spotted in the summer of 2016 off Hawaii's Lisianski Island. Charles Littnan, the program's lead scientist, said researchers are still baffled by the phenomenon. Brittany Dolan/NOAA Fisheries
