02/26/2022 (PART 2) Molokai Two Day Update from Team T&D

Team T&D have been hitting the seal jackpot on Molokai. On Friday they documented ten seals. And Saturday they only found two.  Another way to look at it, 12 seals in a weekend, not bad.

They started with the beach close to where they were staying and found two seals. RL04, female who interestingly they met in 2016 at Ka'ena Point. The other is RKB2.

The rest of their day was hiking with a friend looking for seals. They found L6 hidden in the rocks, he always looks like he's smiling. 

Next they watched two seals playing in a tide pool. It was RK94 a male, and RL64 female. The two were playing together for quite awhile. When they were on their way back the two were still there playing in the water.  

Another find was RL38 alone sleeping peacefully on the beach. They were told she is an elusive seal so they were really lucky to see her.

Further down on the beach they found 6FI Noa! And thanks to a shinny white belly they found L3 hidden in some rocks. 

A little further down they found L4 Kepuhinui. 

Lastly a second check of one of the beaches on their way back they found RL80.  Many thanks to Team T&D for sharing and their friend for the hikes and IDs.

Saturday's find was RL04 relaxing on the beach alone. The other seal on a different beach was RKB2. Team T&D saw both these critters on Friday.
