A place to discussion nature on Farcaster

Aukai is another of the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program's success stories.

She had her picture splashed across the news in January 2013, when she was spotted with a three pronged spear embedded into her head. You can just see a small dimple on the top of her head, where I believe the injury was.

Thanks to the NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands staff and a vet from the The Marine Mammal Center, the spear was removed and she has fully recovered.
