Hawaiian Monk Seal on Kauai

Hi everyone,

My mom and my sister just sent me this picture from Poipu Beach in Kauai.

I’ve never seen a Hawaiian monk seal (or any monk seal, to be honest) and as far as I know they’re not considered common, so I wasn’t sure if I should report it on here, or if it’s like reporting a sighting of an impala in Kruger.. but I figured “why not”

There was even a sign explaining about their ecology and saying not to disturb it, according to my sister.

Cheers!

Tomer
