Monk seal sleeping on Kauai beach
Oh my goodness, what a great spotting! This is actually pretty great for Project Noah as the Hawaiian monk seal is critically endangered! His face is ADORABLE, it looks like a cartoon! Also, could you add the scientific name to the spotting to complete it? I'll suggest it for you as an ID, and give a link to some more info about these guys :) Thanks for sharing this!
