An Seal's Tale

Kp2!!!
I read a book called The Odyssey of KP2 by Dr. Terrie Williams, an eminent wildlife biologist.  This book is the story of a biologist, two trainers and Kp2’s (an abandoned seal pup) friendship.  This book was written to tell us this amazing story.  In this book we learn about the Hawai’ian Monk Seal an endangered species.  We learn about how Kp2 and his trainers, Traci and Beau’s amazing.  You will learn about how an animal from a usually solitaire species is as friendly as puppy. You will also learn how he changes America and americans all over the country for good. How a seal helps clean the beaches. How he inspires children from Texas to Hawai’i help clean our streets and oceans.  How one animal can have Hawai’ian’s protesting to bring their Hoaloha (friend) home.  I really loved this book because though the beginning is sad the rest of the book is comical, amusing and cheery.  If you like cute animal’s and inspirational tales, than you will love this book.
Here Kp2 tries to salute but his flippers are to short so the only reach his noes.

  3. Wow! I loved KP2's story!! I thought it was really interesting and inspiring! And the videos and photos were adorable! I thought it was really inspiring how they thought he should be euthanized because he was blind but they decided against it and today he still acts like a normal seal!
