=====================================

Hello! I’m Dean from Hawaii. Let’s go to the beach!
What is that? This is a ”'īlio holo i ka uaua”, a Hawaiian Monk Seal. They are so cute and love the warm sand. Be careful. Do not get close. Monk Seals can be very dangerous.

Let’s fish!
Whoa! Nice catch! That is a “humuhumunukunukuapua'a”, a Reef Triggerfish. They are so pretty, but we cannot keep it. It is a very important fish in Hawaii.

Oh, look! A “honu”, a Green Sea Turtle. They eat seaweed. They are so big! They love resting on the beaches.

What animals do you see at beaches in Japan?
