A monk seal diversion!

I rediscovered this video from our Hawaii trip. Big ol' lazy seal, lounging on the beach.



Hawaiian Monk Seals are one of the most endangered types of seal. There's something like 1,300 left in the wild. If you see one a beach, it's a federal offense to get closer 150 yards. Fortunately for this seal, some life guards had set up ropes around him, otherwise, I'm sure people would get far to close. He was really cute too, scratching his face like my dog.
