Kennedy Logout Wall Info Photos Boxes Basic Information The Hawaiian Monk Seal is an endangered species of earless seal that lives around the Hawaiian Islands. Currently, there are about 1,100 seals in the wild. The population is threatened by fishing nets, marine debris, disease, and low levels of genetic variation. A female can only produce one pup per year, causing the population to grow slowly, and only 20 percent of pups survive into adulthood. Hawaiian monk seals spend the majority of their lives in the sea, but do come to shore to give birth and to find shelter in large storms. They feed on the coral reefs and sandy bottoms of the waters around the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaiian monk seals eat fish and invertebrates, and are preyed on by sharks. facebook View photos of Hawaiian Monk Seal (5) Send Hawaiian Monk Seal a message Poke message Personal Information Activities: Swimming, Eating Fish, Laying on Beach, Interests: Hawaii, EPA, Favorite Food: spiny lobster, eels, larval fish, flat fish, small reef fish and octopus Favorite Movies: Finding Nemo, Free Willy, Big Miracle, The Little Mermaid, The Little Mermaid 2, Shark Tale, Flipper, Ponyo Favorite Books: Mammals in the Seas: Small Cetaceans, Seals, Sirenians and Otters Information Latin Name: Monachus schauinslandi Life Expectancy: 25-30 years Weight: 300-600 pounds Home: reefs, shallow lagoons, open oceans and beaches around Hawaii Hawaiian Monk Seals enjoy eating bony fish Contact Information Photos 2 Albums Address: The Family Updated last Tuesday Food Updated two months ago bottoms the molt, surrounding and to find Hawaiian shelter in Islands. large storms.
