Monachus schauinslandi
The Hawaiian monk seal has a somewhat small, flat head with large black eyes, and short snouts with the nostril on top of the snout and vibrissae on each side. Their slender torpedo-shaped like bodies allows them to be agile swimmers
The majority of their population can be seen around the northwest Hawaiian Islands.
