Monk Seal – Kekaha Kai State Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another monk seal hunt today. After a little walk, we head out on another monk seal hunt. We heard there was a baby monk seal at Kekaha Kai State Park – so, we head out to look for the new comer.

And there is Mother and Child. Three days old. I can not tell you how absolutely adorable the baby seal is. It is as black as the lava rocks. And, unless it moves – you wouldn’t really notice it. But, through the trusty binoculars – the baby is the softest, fuzziest, softest, cutest critter you ever saw. <\/p>\n

I have only seen 3 monk seals. Ever. And, I never saw a baby monk seal. <\/p>\n
