The puffin is indiginous to the northern parts of the Atlantic Ocean. Living on both sides of the waters. These small flying penguins have an average height of 10 inches and only weigh 17.5 oz. surprising enough these small animals are carnivores! Being able to dive into the waters at a depth of 200 feet to catch their fish! They practically "fly" through the water flapping their wings as they do in the air.
During their life that usually lasts about 20 years. They spend most of their life at sea resting on the ocean waves swimming. but when in flight they flap their wings at 7 times a second. This leads to a stunning speed of 55-60 miles per hour in propelled flight!
Thanks for keeping up with these random animals! stay tuned next week for the new animal, the sloth!
