Description
A young Hawaiian monk seal named ʻUmiʻumi died from toxoplasmosis — a deadly parasite linked to feral cat feces — marking the second such death this year. Since 2001, this parasite has killed at least seventeen seals, causing severe organ damage. To help, NOAA urges pet owners to keep cats indoors and encourages reporting any spotted seals via their hotline: 888-256-9840.
