People think of the Galapagos Islands as the prime location to see how geographic isolation affects the evolution of animal life, but it’s not the only isolated habitat. Hawaii, an archipelago set alone in the central Pacific, is home to many animals that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Check out these animals that are totally unique and only live in Hawaii. Pretty cool, right?

Pueo

The pueo is also known as the Hawaiian short-eared owl. They are most active during the day.

ʻIʻiwi scarlet honeycreeper

Hawaii has many species of honeycreeper, including the ‘i’wi, which uses its hooked beak to drink nectar.

Hawaiʻi ʻamakihi honeycreeper

Another member of the honeycreeper family, the amakihi is widespread in Hawaii.

Hawaiian hoary bat

This endangered species of bat only lives on Hawaiian islands. It is believed to be related to the North American Hoary Bat.

Pebbled butterflyfish

These fish feed on coral, worms, and tiny crustaceans. They’re endemic to Hawaii.

Orangemargin butterflyfish

These guys can be found in reefs deeper than 200 ft, but only in the vicinity of Hawaii.

Hawaiian monk seal

These cuties often live in the less inhabited islands of northern Hawaii, though they spend most of their time at sea. Their population has been declining, and if nothing changes, they could face extinction in the near future.

Hawaiian happy-face spider

These spiders feature a number of different patterns on their backs, but the best known looks like a widely grinning mouth. The spiders are only found on four Hawaiian islands: Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii.

Nene

This species of goose is also Hawaii’s official state bird. They often prefer to live far from the water on black lava.

Hawaiian hawk

The bird was once a symbol of royalty in Hawaiian folklore. The hawks only breed on the Big Island, but have been spotted on other Hawaiian islands.
