A swimmer is recovering from injuries caused by a Hawaiian Monk Seal at Kaimana beach. The seal, Rocky, has been at the beach since giving birth to pup two weeks ago.
Beach goers at Kaimana Beach said they heard Rocky panicking in the morning - barking back and forth looking for her pup. After 5 minutes, they said she found her pup near the Natatorium. Shortly after, the mother seal charged at the nearest swimmer.
Timberlake said a nearby canoer swam towards the swimmer and blocked her from the seal and a few people carried from the water to the shore. Her daughter was on the beach at the time of the attack and she said everyone around her was scared.
