*** About Atlantic Puffins: Known for their distinctive black and white plumage and brightly colored beaks, Atlantic puffins are seabirds often found in the coastal regions of the North Atlantic Ocean. These birds are adept swimmers, using their wings to 'fly' underwater while hunting for fish. Puffins are also known for their remarkable ability to carry several fish in their beaks at once, thanks to unique adaptations that allow them to grip fish with their tongue while catching more. Highly sociable during breeding season, puffins nest in large colonies on cliffs and offshore islands, creating burrows in which they lay a single egg each year. The imagery of puffins in artistic representations often symbolizes community, agility, and the rich biodiversity of marine life.
