Although there is no breeding season since births take place year-round, there is a peak in September, October, and November. Although mating will take place in the water, females will give birth and care for the pups on beaches or underwater caves. The use of underwater caves may have begun in order to make predatory actions almost impossible as these caves are difficult to access. Because they will stay with the pups to nurse and protect, they use their stored fat reserves to nurse.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Data analysis indicates that only 29% of pups born between September and January survive.

In ancient times, and up until the 20th century, Mediterranean monk seals had been known to congregate, give birth, and seek refuge on open beaches. In more recent times, they have left their former habitat and now only use sea caves for these activities. Often these caves are inaccessible to humans. Frequently their caves have underwater entries and many caves are positioned along remote or rugged coastlines. </p><p>Scientists have confirmed this is a recent adaptation, most likely due to the rapid increase in human population, tourism, and industry, which have caused increased disturbance by humans and the destruction of the species' natural habitat. Because of these seals' shy nature and sensitivity to human disturbance, they have slowly adapted to try to avoid contact with humans completely within the last century, and, perhaps, even earlier. The coastal caves are, however, dangerous for newborns, and are causes of major mortality among pups when sea storms hit the caves. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Distribution_and_status">Distribution and status</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mediterranean_monk_seal&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Distribution and status"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Mediterranean monk seal can be found in the Mediterranean Sea off of <a href="/wiki/Croatia" title="Croatia">Croatia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cyprus" title="Cyprus">Cyprus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Greece" title="Greece">Greece</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a>, as well as the <a href="/wiki/North_Atlantic_Ocean" class="mw-redirect" title="North Atlantic Ocean">North Atlantic Ocean</a> off of <a href="/wiki/Mauritania" title="Mauritania">Mauritania</a> and <a href="/wiki/Western_Sahara" title="Western Sahara">Western Sahara</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-iucn_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-iucn-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It may be locally-extinct (extirpated) in and around <a href="/wiki/Albania" title="Albania">Albania</a>, <a href="/wiki/Corsica" title="Corsica">Corsica</a>, <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a>, <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>, <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Libya" title="Libya">Libya</a>, <a href="/wiki/Malta" title="Malta">Malta</a>, <a href="/wiki/Monaco" title="Monaco">Monaco</a>, <a href="/wiki/Montenegro" title="Montenegro">Montenegro</a>, southern <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a> (and the <a href="/wiki/Balearic_Islands" title="Balearic Islands">Balearic Islands</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Tunisia" title="Tunisia">Tunisia</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-iucn_1-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-iucn-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Its status in <a href="/wiki/Algeria" title="Algeria">Algeria</a>, <a href="/wiki/Israel" title="Israel">Israel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lebanon" title="Lebanon">Lebanon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Morocco" title="Morocco">Morocco</a> and <a href="/wiki/Syria" title="Syria">Syria</a> is unknown.<sup id="cite_ref-iucn_1-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-iucn-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This <a href="/wiki/Earless_seal" title="Earless seal">earless seal</a>'s historical range extended from the northern Atlantic coastline of Western Africa east to the <a href="/wiki/Black_Sea" title="Black Sea">Black Sea</a>, including all offshore islands within the Mediterranean, the <a href="/wiki/Canary_Islands" title="Canary Islands">Canary Islands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Madeira_Island" title="Madeira Island">Madeira</a>, <a href="/wiki/Desertas_Islands" title="Desertas Islands">Desertas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Porto_Santo" class="mw-redirect" title="Porto Santo">Porto Santo</a>, and as far west as the <a href="/wiki/Azores" title="Azores">Azores</a>. <a href="/wiki/Vagrancy_(biology)" title="Vagrancy (biology)">Vagrants</a> could be found as far south as <a href="/wiki/The_Gambia" title="The Gambia">The Gambia</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Cape_Verde" title="Cape Verde">Cape Verde</a> (Cabo Verde) islands, and as far north as <a href="/wiki/Portugal" title="Portugal">Portugal</a> to <a href="/wiki/Northern_Spain" class="mw-redirect" title="Northern Spain">Northern Spain</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Bay_of_Biscay" title="Bay of Biscay">Bay of Biscay</a> to the coast of <a href="/wiki/Brittany" title="Brittany">Brittany</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-iucn_1-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-iucn-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Several causes provoked a dramatic population decrease over time: on one hand, commercial hunting (especially during the Roman Empire and Middle Ages) and, during the 20th century, eradication by fishermen, who used to consider it a pest due to the damage the seal causes to fishing nets when it preys on fish caught in them;
