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.
