Atlantic Puffins are found in the Arctic Circle, eastern Canada, the northern United States, the west coast of Europe, south of the Mediterranean, the Faroe Islands, and northern Russia.

HABITAT

Atlantic puffins are known as the clowns of the sea. Their diet consists of fish, crustaceans, squids, and marine worms. Atlantic Puffins can live up to 20 years.

Atlantic puffins travel in flocks. They are rare and are only found in the Atlantic Ocean.

Atlantic Puffins interact with minxes, fish, cructaceans, squids, marine worms, foxes, great black-backed gulls, rocks, sun light, air, temperature, and plants.

Humans are also polluting lands that puffins usually roost on, and they also can mistake food as trash in the ocean.

Humans, like the volunteer in this picture, are helping to save the polulation on the Atlantic Puffin.
