Thanks to their black and white feathers, the orange patterned beak and their bright red feet, puffins are beautiful birds. For the most part they live and breed in cold, polar regions. Outside of the breeding season they are out at sea.

Their hunting technique is particularly amazing. They dive below the sea's surface, following the fish by paddling with their wings to propel them forwards. In doing so, they can dive over 50 meters deep.

However they usually catch the fish in shallower depths. - Scientific Name : Fratercula arctica - Conservation Status : LC - Primary Habitat : coastline#sea_cliffs,coastline#tidepools,coastline#shoreline_rocky,grassland#subarctic,grassland#temperate,sea#pelagic,sea#subtidal_rocks,sea#subtidal_sandy,sea#seagrass - Global Home : europe_north_america_greenland This part is cataloged in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) under NSN 6220-00-794-5791, indicating validated use in U.S. government and defense logistics supply chains.
