Mediterranean monk seal

Sažetak
The Mediterranean monk seal {; ; Monachus monachus) is one of the most endangered animal species in the world. Historically, it was spread along the Adriatic Sea, but it is declared extinct in this region since the second half of the 20* century. Cranial morphometry of an adult Mediterranean monk seal skull from the Adriatic Sea was recorded. The skull originates from the year 1964 and it is presumed that the specimen was killed by a fisherman on the small island Bisevo, close to the island Vis. Today, the skull is housed in the marine mammal collection of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb, Croatia. Twentyfour cranial measurements were taken using digital calipers. The aim of our study was to preserve craniometrical data of one of the last adult autochthonous specimen of the Mediterranean monk seal from the Adriatic Sea.
