The Hawaiian monk seal, Monachus schauinslandi, is a critically endangered species and this one was born and raised on a remote northern part of the Big Island. He is still very young and adventurous. Apparently he is getting used to human activities and started causing some troubles like occupying the boat ramp.

The Hawaiian monk seal, Monachus schauinslandi, is a critically endangered species and this one was born and raised on a remote northern part of the Big Island. He is still very young and adventurous. Apparently he is getting used to human activities and started causing some troubles like occupying the boat ramp.

There were a few more memorable pictures to go with our anniversary. Magnificent great frigatebird, Fregata minor, baby spinner dolphin jump, Stenella longirostris longirostris, and good looking oceanic whitetip shark, Carcharhinus longimanus, with pilot fish, Naucrates ductor.

In addition, lots of humpback whale breaches, Megaptera novaeangliae, from this season! Sorry about too many similar pictures. I tried but was incapable of choosing, so decided to have you choose the best. I personally love the one with Haleakala of Mauin in the background, and those breaching pictures shot from the very low angle. The color saturation and contrast of those breaching shots were outstanding as they were shot on a clear vog-less sunny day. Nowadays such days are very rare around Hawaii.
