W35 Baby Girl Gets Hooked

Aloha Good People!

Here's a story about a young female monk seal from the Big Island tagged W35, this young'en is RO42's sister. She managed to swallow a fish hook and was brought to Oahu for surgery. She spent a couple of days at the Waikiki Aquarium being watched around the clock by loyal volunteers of the Hawaiian Monk Seal Response Team Oahu (HMSRTO).

All went well with her surgery and after one more day at the aquarium, she was brought home and released! A HUGE success story... many many thanks to all the volunteers on both islands!
