Monk Seals
Monk seals are a group of earless seals in the family Phocidae. They are known for their distinctive appearance, with a round face, large eyes, and a lack of external ears. Monk seals are primarily found in tropical and subtropical waters, with some species inhabiting islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. These seals are known for their solitary nature and are typically found resting on beaches or rocky shores. They are skilled swimmers and divers, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and other marine life. Monk seals are considered endangered due to habitat loss, human disturbance, and overfishing.
