=Hawaiian Monk Seal =



The Hawaiian Monk Seal's fur is silvery grey on their back. Their belly ,chest and throat are white. Hawaiian Monk Seals are usually found at the North West part of Hawaii. They are born on land you can normally find mothers with newly born pups on remote beaches. One of the Hawaiian Monk Seal's preditors are the shark. humans are also a preditor because if a human gets to close to a mother and her pup on land then the mother will swim to the ocean leaving her pups who will soon die. Pups also have a lack of survival not only on land but also in the ocean. Hawaiian Monk Seals could also die because they get stuck in fishermens nets. Also during matting season an agressive males might attack a female and either seriously injure the female or even kill her. There is a breeding program called French Frigate Shoals. United States marine also helps. There is approximently only 1,200 Hawaiian Monk Seal's left in the world.
