Because the Hawaiian islands are so isolated―more than 2000 miles from any large land mass―many of its native animals have developed unusual adaptations that help them survive. For example, Hawai‘i has
- whales that sing
- dolphins that spin through the air
- bats that turn somersaults as they feed
- shrimp that climb waterfalls
- killer caterpillars
- a tiny blood-sucking bug that survives on the summit of Mauna Kea
Hawai‘i is the extinction capital of the United States. Only through education and thoughtful conservation can we prevent the disappearance of any more of Hawai‘i’s unique animals. The first step is to learn about these animals and begin to appreciate their special characteristics.
