Shhh! Be very quiet, we’re watching monk seals. *sigh* Doesn’t this seal look so peacefully relaxed? Based on the number of scars, it looks like this seal deserves a little rest and relaxation. Today’s Aloha Friday Photo comes to us from Shawna by way of our Go Visit Hawaii facebook community . Shawna took this photo at Lagoon One at Ko’Olina on Oahu in June of 2008. At first Shawna didn’t know what a special sight she was seeing. After the Monk Seal Response Team of volunteers arrived she learned that the Hawaiian Monk Seal is rare and endangered. Remember to keep a good distance and notify authorities if you see a monk seal in Hawaii . Mahalo to Shawna for sharing her photo and her experience with catching such a rare sight! This photo won our Aloha Friday Photo seal of approval. © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
