🦭Hawaiian Monk Seal
La foca monje de Hawái o foca fraile hawaiana (Neomonachus schauinslandi) es un mamífero pinnípedo de la familia de los fócidos endémica, en peligro de extinción, que rodean las islas del noroeste del archipiélago de Hawái. La foca monje de Hawái (descrita por primera vez en 1905) es, junto con la foca monje del Mediterráneo (Monachus monachus) una de las dos únicas especies vivas de focas monje, actualmente agrupadas en géneros distintos. Una tercera especie, foca monje del Caribe (N. tropicalis), se ha extinguido. Está especie es nativa, de las islas de Hawái. La foca monje hawaiana está en peligro crítico, por culpa del gran número de desechos químicos que produce la pesca del norte del Océano Pacífico, en los arrecifes y playas. Su dieta está constituida por peces, cefalópodos y crustáceos. Su periodo de vida es entre los 25 y 30 años.
