Hawaiian Monk Seal: Two Weeks Old

Posted by: Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Kauai
Nov 26, 2008

Our pup is two weeks old here.  It was the first sunny day in a week, so mom and pup decided it was high time to play.  The pair ventured to the water on two occasions, each for almost 1-1/2 hours.  Right now, as mom teaches her offspring about the ways of the water, she doesn’t take pup beyond the surf break, staying well within the outer reef.  Here, the two navigate the rocks.  Pup wasn’t too happy about that, but after a few shouts out to mom, it figured it out.

After the pup’s second swim, near sunset, it was ravenous.  Then, it promptly fell asleep.  Such is the life for beach-goers on Kauai.  Indeed, it sounds like the perfect way to spend Thanksgiving to me.

(P.S. It appears we have a bit of a bug related to the commenting feature. If you cannot easily read the CAPTCHA numers/letters, click on the blue arrow button below, and you'll get a new, hopefully easier set. Also, once you do enter your letters/numbers, it seems to take a while for the system to process them. This is where I have to ask for your patience. Take a sip of coffee. Check your Facebook page. Make a play on Words with Friends. By then, your comment should have published. You'll know when you see the box with the message, "Mahalo for submitting your comment. We appreciate your feedback." 

I know; it's annoying. Technology can be that way. But I do so greatly appreciate your comments, so please don't let this stop you. Our web people are aware of the bug; it's on their list. Have you ever seen a white-tailed tropicbird's tail? It's long. And Sheila's and Jason's to-do list is, sadly, way longer.)
