Waikīkī Aquarium
Endangered & Endemic

Meet the marine mammals.

Hawaiʻi's only native land mammal is a bat, but its waters are home to one of the rarest seals on Earth.

The Hawaiian monk seal is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, which means it lives nowhere else on Earth. With fewer than 1,500 individuals remaining, it is one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world. Meet our resident animals and learn what's being done to protect the species.
