The habitat of this seal has changed over the years. In ancient times, and up until the 20th century, Mediterranean Monk Seals had been known to congregate, give birth, and seek refuge on open beaches. In more recent times, they have left their former habitat and, now, only use sea caves for such things, and more often than not, these caves are rather inaccessible to humans due to under-water entries, and because the caves are often positioned along remote or rugged Coastlines.
Scientists have confirmed that this is a recent adaptation, most likely due to the rapid increase in human population, tourism and industry, which have caused the destruction of animals' habitat. Because of these seals' shy nature and sensitivity to human disturbance, they have slowly adapted to try avoid contact with humans completely within the last century, and, perhaps, even earlier than that. The coastal caves are however dangerous for newborns, and are major mortality cause among pups.
