11-21-11 R307 on Molokini Island

OOPS.... rewind-
It appears no one bothered Lona R307, but wow what a crowd.... it doesn't appear she he felt threatened, thank goodness because that could have been a disaster. Pretty cool how she he was just floating and letting the waves move her him. (thank you Tracy for the correction)

It is facinating to see Lona in her environment, yes, she looks like she is trying to sleep. But a part of me feels sorry for seals...there seems to be no place to just rest without humans around. And there were alot of humans in the video. Lona looked so cute, like falling a sleep at the tv on and finally giving in, found a spot to snuggle at. I wonder what else goes on with these TOUR Groups out there...hmmmm.

Folks, this is no Lona, unless she turned into a boy. This is an adult male seal, ID is R307 based on scar over right eye and pit scar high left midbody. He is seen on Molokai and Kahoolawe. Nice to document him at Molokini. Donna, do you knwo when this video was taken?

Thanks!
Tracy
