WAIKIKI — A Hawaiian monk seal that had a fishhook removed from his mouth on Sunday made his way yesterday from Kalaeloa to Queen’s Beach where he sunned himself.
Kermit, as he is called by the Monk Seal Response Team, looked much better yesterday than he did on Sunday, when volunteers and scientists pulled the barbed ulua fishhook from his swollen mouth.
