Special fact about Mediterranean Monk Seal?

Thanks so much for the question! Well, where do we even start? Mediterranean monk seal or Monachus Monachus are a fascinating species that compose the Monachus genus. They are related to Caribbean and HAWAIIAN species! Neomonachus tropicalis and Neomonachus schauinslandi. Both part of the Monachii family. Their name as "monk seals" is because their necks have folds that reminds of clergy's necks Also they played an important role in Mythology! Being their first written records linked to the Odyssey! Yes Menelaus' in the fifth rhapsody is the first that we know it's a Mediterranean seal. The other one is way older from the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser I (1114–1076 BC) where Ramses XI gifted him a crocodile and a "riverman" that seems to be a seal. But for what we know is the Odyssey the first written record that we can assume is one. It is the only Phocid found in the Mediterranean and in all of Europe as a whole.

每次嘴巴有東西，小鸚鵡都很好奇的來啄啄看，就連刷牙的牙膏泡沫也好奇。 #鳥 #bird #Myiopsittamonachus #Myiopsitta #monachus #鸚鵡 #桃面小鸚 #afeipet https://www.instagram.com/p/BoYg-OUlmlt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3pwt13dl0sja

Monachus tropicalis O foca monje del Caribe, siendo la única especie de su tipo. Cazada por los marineros por su grasa y capturada por coleccionistas de zoológicos, terminaron por extinguirla. En 1952 fue vista vista la última con vida pero fue declarada extinta hasta el 2008. #monachus #tropicalis #seal #watercolor #art #instaart #nature #endangered #foca #monje #monk #sealife #water #extint #extinta #iucn #save #extintion #extincion #mastozoology #mastozoología #caribe #caribbean https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn5JPLtgAYG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1301lav1hdvfq
