hawaiian monk seal!
Here is a once in a lifetime picture of an extinct Hawaiian monk seal and her baby resting on the beach of Kamiana in Hawaii. This picture obviously was not taken with a fancy camera, simply on my Iphone and does not do justice, but like I said was a ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience. This was taken on my FIRST TIME EVER trip to Hawaii, May of 2021. (THIS YEAR). Once I heard the news of Hawaii’s local monk seal giving birth just a few days before I arrived, I knew I had to witness this myself. Of course, the mother and pup where safely blocked off from tourists like me!! After this experience I knew I wanted to learn more!!!!
