Monk seals are living fossils - they have not changed in 15 million years - but may not survive this century! They are critically endangered. Only two species are still alive - the Hawaiian monk seal and the Mediterranean monk seal. Both are easily disturbed by people. In this attractive book filled with photographs and illustrations, children will discover:
• how monk seal bodies have adapted to ocean life
• how these seals find food
• the dangers they face in their ocean habitats
• how people are helping them
