What is the geologic time period of the Caribbean monk seal?
The Caribbean monk seal, West Indian seal (Monachus tropicalis), or sea wolf, as early explorers referred to it, was a species of seal native to the Caribbean and now believed to be extinct. The Caribbean monk seals' main predators were sharks and humans. Overhunting of the seals for oil, and overfishing of their food sources, are the established reasons for the seals' extinction. The last confirmed sighting of the Caribbean Monk Seal was in 1952 at Serranilla, between Jamaica and Nicaragua.
What type of habitat do Caribbean Monk Seals live?
Sadly, Caribbean monk seals are completely extinct. They were over hunted primarily for their blubber, which was used in a variety of applications, including fuel for lamps, before the invention of the light bulb, and lack of food was the final straw during the 1950's. They used to live in the tropical waters of the Caribbean islands, and hunted fish for food.
