Monk seals get their name both from the soft folds of fur around their neck that resemble a monk’s cowl and for being solitary creatures, like monks. They are unusual for seals in that they do not live in large groups. Monk seals generally stay well away from other seals and humans, and can become aggressive when they get too close or feel threatened. Monk seals, especially pregnant or nursing mothers, appear to be greatly agitated when they are disturbed by humans, so much so that they may abandon their pups. So if you see a Hawaiian monk seal, remember to keep your distance.
I know its midnight x: No time to post in the morning. Happy holidays.
