We did our weekly trek to Laau Pt today and have discovered a new monk seal. As you can see by the photos he is a cutie....he is a young, newly molted, very clean seal and has not been tagged yet. I have enclosed some rare photos of him. I am sure we'll be seeing more of him in the future. Anybody have any suggestions for a name????? Instead of flat stanley... fat stanley because I am sure he's going to be showing up in a lot of places... Thanks Val you got a good laugh out of me!

Dont know what to call the new kid, he is a cutie. I think you need to collect the poop in the third shot for science. He needs to be bleached right away as I see no markers. Name? Laau? Hmmm, let me think, Mo? Short for MOLOKAI. DB? For Dianne and Bloys? JO? Means sweetheart in scrabble. I dont know. Braddha?
As Rob and I viewed the shots, I think you are too close, EYE CONTACT? TSK.TSK! He seems to be aware of your presence!! Oh, what about....KID ROCK?
Oh my gosh, I love the name Laau or Kid Rock...
In no way were we too close, photos were taken with large zoom. We take all the necessary precautions when dealing with these endangered animals!
DOn't forget these kids can really travel--who knows when him might show up on your island.
