Phocidae
Hawaiian Monk Seal – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Hawaiian Monk Seal:
The Hawaiian Monk Seal is a critically endangered marine mammal native to the the Hawaiian Islands. It is a member of the Phocidae family, which are the earless and "true" seals. There is only one other species of Monk Seal - the Mediterranean Monk Seal. Adult males of the species grow to weigh about 300 to 400 pounds (140 to 180 kilograms) and have a length of roughly 7 feet (2.1 meters) Females are generally somewhat larger - 400 to 600 pounds (180 to 270 kilograms) and 8 feet (2.4 meters) long. There are only an estimated 1,100 individuals in the wild, and because of this number - along with the fact there are very low levels of genetic variations - there are very aggressive conservation efforts being made in order to save the species from extinction. The Hawaiian Monk Seal is the official state mammal of Hawaii.

Northern Elephant Seal – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Northern Elephant Seal:
The Northern Elephant Seal is one of two species of elephant seal (the Southern Elephant seal being the other.) It is a member of the Phocidae family - which are "true seals." They are native to the beaches and sand dunes of the Pacific coast of North America. Elephant Seals are massive, and the males are much larger than the females. Large bull males can weigh in upwards of 5,000 pounds (2,3000 kg) and be 14 feet long (4 meters.) Male elephant seals are fiercely territorial and are famous for their brutal fights with one another during the mating season, when a dominate male is protecting his harem of females from a challenger. Although the battles are long and bloody, they are rarely fatal and generally the loser is allowed to slip away to a less desirable part of the beach.
