🦭Hawaiian Monk Seal
Die Hawaii-Mönchsrobbe (Neomonachus schauinslandi, Synonym: Monachus schauinslandi), auch Laysan-Mönchsrobbe genannt, ist eine vom Aussterben bedrohte Mönchsrobbenart, die endemisch im tropischen Nordpazifik bei Hawaii vorkommt. Der wissenschaftliche Name verweist auf den deutschen Zoologen Hugo Hermann Schauinsland, der 1899 einen Schädel auf Laysan fand. Der hawaiianische Name lautet ʻĪlio-holo-i-ka-uaua, was 'Hund, der im rauen Wasser läuft' bedeutet.
