Monk Seal

We just saw a 500lb female Hawaiian Monk Seal a rare endangered species there are only about 1000 left in the wild. There are three species of Monk Seal the Hawaiian Monk Seal, the Mediterranean Monk Seal which they're only 500 of and the Caribbean Monk Seal which sadly went extinct. They are strict about the Monk seal now that it is really endangered and hopefully it can make a recovery with all its protection.
