Meet 'Metade' - The Mediterranean Monk Seal with a Larger-Than-Life Personality!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are introduced to the charismatic 'Metade, ' a magnificent male Mediterranean Monk Seal measuring an impressive 2.5 meters in length. With his striking presence and endearing expressions, it's no wonder he has become a local celebrity, identified by the Parque Natural da Madeira. Taken in August 2009 at the enchanting Desertas Islands in Madeira, Portugal, this snapshot perfectly captures Metade's underwater world. As one of Europe's endangered species, these seals hold great importance for marine conservation efforts. With their sleek bodies and playful nature, monk seals are known as pinnipeds - skilled swimmers that effortlessly navigate through the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. This portrait showcases not only their beauty but also highlights their vital role as vertebrates within our ecosystem. Photographed by Nuno Sa from Wild Wonders of Europe / Sa for Nature Picture Library, this image is a true gem that brings joy to all who admire it. So dive into Metade's world and let his larger-than-life personality leave you awestruck!
