Mediterranean monk seals inhabit the Mediterranean Sea off Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey, as well as the North Atlantic Ocean off Mauritania and Western Sahara.
Historical records outline a native geographical range where localized extinction has occurred in and around Albania, Corsica, Egypt, France, Italy, Libya, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, southern Spain, the Balearic Islands, and Tunisia.
Bony fish, octopuses, and squids make up the daily diet of these rare coastal carnivores. Mature females give birth to one pup per breeding season inside secluded marine caves.

Marion, the Mediterranean monk seal skull replica, has decided to start breeding purebred border collies because they are so cute, smart and very profitable.
Carley, the Caribbean monk skull replica, is positive Marion will not be able to part with even one of the darling little pups.
Wally, the walrus male skull replica, agrees one hundred percent with Carley.
Banda, the ribbon seal skull replica, says there is no way Carley will be able to part with them. I agree. I could not do it either.

| International Seal Day - March 22nd | Every year on March 22nd, the International Day of the Seal promotes the conservation of seals worldwide. It’s also a day to celebrate this amazing marine mammal. A seal is a type of animal called a pinniped, which is Latin for “fin-footed.” Other pinnipeds include the walrus and sea lion. What makes seals different than other pinnipeds is that they don’t really use their flippers to walk. When on land, they usually slide around on their bellies. In the water, their flippers help them swim really fast. Seals are also much quieter and smaller than their sea lion and walrus cousins. |
