Monk seal fun facts:

• The Hawaiian monk seal is one of the most endangered seals in the world. 
• Hawaiian monk seals are one of only two endemic Hawaiian mammals (the other is the Hawaiian hoary bat).
• Hawaiian monk seals are threatened by habitat loss, entanglement, human disturbance, food limitation, and introduced diseases (particularly Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite spread by invasive cats). 
• Conservation efforts include habitat protection, public outreach, rehabilitation, and veterinary care. 
• Hawaiian monk seals can survive shark attacks! It isn’t uncommon to sea a monk seal with a shark bite scar.
