The Hawaiian monk seal is a rare, endangered seal native to the Hawaiian Islands. It’s one of only two monk seal species left in the world. These seals are known for their round faces, big dark eyes, and silvery-grey coats. They spend most of their time lounging on beaches or hunting fish and squid in the ocean. Unfortunately, their population is threatened by habitat loss, entanglement in fishing gear, and lack of food. Conservation efforts are helping, but they remain one of the most endangere

Meet Hawaiian monk seal, Kekoa, showing off his signature “galumphing” move. Unlike our California sea lions, who can rotate their hind flippers and walk on all fours, seals move their bodies by scooting in this unique style. Mahalo to Danni from our animal care team for helping Kekoa stay healthy, active, and engaged every day! 💙 Learn more about Hawaiian monk seals, and see Kekoa, during the park’s 11:30am or 3:15pm monk seal educational talks. #sealifepark #marinelifeconservation #hawaiianmo

If we are extremely lucky we may see a monk seal resting on the beach or swimming into shore during a visit to the Hawaiian Islands but witnessing one eating a fish in the middle of the channel is literally a once in a lifetime experience!

This is the rare Hawaiian monk seal, one of the most endangered marine mammals on Earth and found nowhere else but the Hawaiian Islands. Fewer than 1,400 remain today. They are protected under both U.S. federal and Hawaiʻi state law—disturbing a monk seal is illegal and can result in a Class C felony, carrying penalties of up to 5 years in prison and $50,000 in fines. Monk seals don’t chew their food—they swallow it whole. With 32 teeth and an exceptionally strong jaw, they crush bones and shell

Today we watched a Hawaiian monk seal feeding on an octopus (tako).The octopus had its suckers attached to the seal’s face, and the seal was thrashing to loosen the grip, which is normal feeding behavior since they often shake octopus repeatedly until the suckers release enough to swallow it. Even though it’s November, we were able to dive the Nā Pali Coast today. Many companies don’t run Niʻihau and Nā Pali trips year-round, but there are windows between the larger swells when conditions are ex

Hawaiian monk seals are native to the islands and often rest along Po’ipu Beach. They are also known as ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua (“dog running in the rough water”) and are an endangered seal species. Ashlee caught a great video of one swimming close to shore. | Christine Howatt

Did you know? Hawaiian monk seals use suction feeding to eat! Instead of chewing, they create a strong pull with their mouths to slurp up fish in an instant. Our animal care team prepares Kekoa’s meals, but the way he eats is uniquely his own. 🦭 #hawaiianmonkseal #monksealmonday #hawaii #oahu #sealifepark | Sea Life Park

Curious, playful, and completely unique to these islands — meet the Hawaiian monk seal🦭💙 This endangered species is one of only two remaining monk seal species in the world, and fewer than 1,600 are left. Their curiosity often leads them to investigate new things (like our camera 😅), but remember — they’re protected by law and need plenty of space to thrive. - - - #SeasportDivers #ScubaDiving #Kauai #Hawaii #ExploreMore #HawaiianMonkSeal #MarineLife #Conservation #OceanEducation #insta360 | S
