* Island Biogeography: Hawaii's isolation in the Pacific Ocean meant that it was never connected to a continental landmass. This meant that no land mammals were able to naturally reach the islands.
* Early Polynesian Settlers: The only mammals present in Hawaii before the arrival of Europeans were those brought by Polynesian settlers, such as pigs, dogs, and rats. These animals were not trapped for their fur, but rather used for food, companionship, or other purposes.
Therefore, there was no tradition of fur trapping in Hawaii due to the lack of fur-bearing mammals indigenous to the islands.
