Hawaiian monk seals were named for their resemblance to the monks of the Franciscan order, due to their rounded bodies and the folds of skin around their necks that resemble a monk's hood. The term "monk" reflects their solitary nature, as they are often seen resting alone on beaches. The "Hawaiian" part of their name indicates their primary habitat in the Hawaiian Islands, where they are one of the few seal species found in tropical waters.
