Abstract

The article reports on the eye problem of a monk seal named KP2 that will require surgery and will force it into permanent captivity at Sea Life Park in Oahu, Hawaii. The 18-month-old seal was found by animal specialists to be suffering from severe cataracts and about 80% blind. The cataract surgery, set to be performed in December 2009 or January 2010, is said to be the first of such procedure on a monk seal. The animal was popular among swimmers in the Kaunakakai Wharf in Molokai.
