Animal Facts:
The Tufted Puffin (Fratercula cirrhata), also called the crested puffin, is a charming seabird with style to spare! Found along the North Pacific Ocean, it’s easily recognized by its striking black plumage, white facial mask, and golden tufted feathers that flow back from its head like a fancy crown. Add a bright red beak and feet for its breeding season look, and you’ve got one of nature’s fashionistas!
These puffins are the largest of their kind, reaching about 35 cm (14 in) in length. They’re expert divers, using their short, strong wings to “fly” underwater in search of fish, squid, and krill to eat. When feeding their chicks, they can hold multiple fish in their beak at once—sometimes over 20!
Tufted Puffins nest in burrows on remote islands and cliffs during summer, keeping their eggs safe from predators like foxes and owls. After breeding, they return to life at sea, spending the winter on the open ocean.
With smarts, style, and unparalleled adaptations, the Tufted Puffin is as clever as it is quirky—a true standout of the avian world!
