05/24/21 Monday Monk Seal Dailies

Today's dailies are brought to you by Team R&B💕.  

They started out their day with Kolohe RW22 who was at Lani's. He was alone sleeping in peace until the tourists began to arrive. Aunties helpers put the signs out and Team R&B adjusted the ropes.  This made a safe space for Kolohe.

From there they went to another westside location and there was RH76 Kala and RG28 Lefty. Initially this seemed to be a happy couple but then Lefty became a little to aggressive with Kala. She was sleeping aware of he was there, and then he suddenly went after her, biting her neck.  She rook off over the rocks to get away from him.   

Team R&B did the Ka'ena West trek and found the couple of the year. Lei Ola RH48 and Kekoa Alii RK72. Now Kekoa is a gentleman and doesn't go attacking his wahine.  Clearly these two enjoy each others company and know how to relax together.

They spotted a male seal in an unusual spot and it took a bit to get the ID. They went back and thank

goodness the seal was still there snoozing and on its belly. They ID'd R3CU, his lower cookie scar and bleach spot was visible. He wasn't very far away from Kekoa and Lei Ola, so who knows what tomorrow will bring. 

The last find of the day at Ka'ena West was a great surprise. There was little green kid Kai RM31, one of out 2020 kids. As Team R&B moved to get a better look they saw another seal with him. It was RN14 Kalani laying next to the kid without any interaction.  During their observation they were resting peacefully.
