 Did you now that puffins eat sand eels? Doesn't that word sound like eels are made of sand? They also eat herring and small fish. Puffins are carnivores that dive in sea for food.

Ready to learn about puffins predators? One of them is the great black backed gull. The next one is the herring gull. When a predator comes they can fly very fast, like up to 55 miles (88 kilometers). This is a very weird fact, in America’s early setters killed puffins for food. People can also be a predator of puffins.

 Puffins are black and white but only the female puffins have white breasts. All puffins legs are orange. The next fun fact is an Atlantic puffin lives to be about 20 years old. To humans that is not a lot, isn't that very, very, weird? Puffins are about ten inches (25 centimeters) long and weigh about 1.75 ounces (500grams). When a cute baby puffin hatches it takes about 49 days for a cute baby puffin to learn how to fly. The last fun fact is that Atlantic puffins have a colorful beak that has led some to call them the sea parrot.

 Puffins, puffins, puffins. I think they’re so cute! I wish I could see one, but their habitat is too far away. Well, thanks! I’m glad that you read my puffin story.
