Aloha and welcome to my Hawaiian animal page!

I live in Hawaii on the largely rural Hawaii Island (aka Big Island, Volcano Island, Orchid Isle) where Hawaiian animals are found everywhere and where I taught high school students about these amazing animals of Hawaii. My backyard "pool" is the coral reef and volcano heated ponds where I get to swim with sea turtles and native Hawaiian fish. The birds and mammals of Hawaii are beautiful and many are found nowhere else on the planet, so I am creating a list of the best and most fun Hawaiian animal and environmental Websites I've found so far. You'll also find below some amazing facts about Hawaiian animals. Other than the Amazon ads (my personal recommendations), the following links are not affiliates - these are wonderful resources for anyone interested in learning about Hawaii's native and endangered species.

Hawaii's Animals

Honu, Hawaian green sea turtle haul themselves up on the beaches to bask in the sun, while the Hawaiian Hawksbill only comes to land to lay her eggs.

Many sea turtles are seen at Punaluu Beach on the Big Island. Please don't touch (our oils harm their shells)

The humpback whales of Alaska migrate to the Hawaiian islands in December and stay through April or May, to mate and give birth in Hawaii's warm waters. There are many places you can view them from shore, underwater or by boat (sail boats and eco friendly tours!)

Learn about protecting these animals' home by being a good

ecotourist - visit Coconut Roads' Hawaii Ecotourism page.
