According to an internet blog sponsored by NOAA called monksealmania.blogspot.com, a biologist from the National Park Service in Kalaupapa found a still born monk seal in one of the tide pools in January 29.
The mom, RV10, a 5-year old seal was found near the dead pup. Apparently RV10 is the second youngest known seal to give birth. NOAA officials will be performing a necropsy tomorrow to determine the cause of death.
