Monk Seals Also Sunbathe

This cute mammal is another Hawaiian native that we fear is going extinct. We certainly hope that doesn’t happen because they also do their part in adding to the beauty of Hawaii. They can live for up to 30 years, and your chances of seeing them are much higher on Kauai island, particularly on Poipu beach.

Although the monk seals prefer to carry out their activities away from humans, you could easily find them sleeping on the beach. No matter how cute you think they are, it’s best to avoid touching them because they are recognized as endangered, and it’s considered illegal since it could pose a threat to them.
