Taken from Chapter 9: Monk seals Vanishing monks The Caribbean monk seal is believed to be extinct. It was hunted for its fat, called blubber, and has not been sighted since 1952. There are fewer than 500 monk seals living in the Mediterranean. Scientists feel that their chances of survival are low because of the large number of boats in the Mediterranean area. The population of the Hawaiian monk seal is also decreasing because of human interference in its habitat.
