This means they can carry more food for their young and feed them without the need for regurgitation. They are unusual in that they have coarse tongues and spines on their upper palette which enables them to carry multiple fish at a time, usually up to 10 sandeels in any one feeding trip. Puffins dive 200 ft (60 m) in search of fish, with dives usually lasting 20–30 seconds, but up to a minute is possible. The exact diet varies between colonies though, and depends on which fish are found around the breeding area.
Puffins are pelagic seabirds that feed mainly on small fish such as sandeels, hake, herring, capelin and sand lance. They also have waterproof feathers and the ability to drink seawater. Spending all winter at sea requires some adaptations, and puffins survive by being excellent swimmers and hunters. How are puffins adapted for a life at sea? In summer, between April and August, puffins come into breed on rocky cliffs and in burrows on grassy banks.
They spend entire winters at sea without coming in to land, and rest by sitting on the surface of the water. Where do Atlantic puffins live?Ītlantic puffins are found across the North-Atlantic Ocean, from the east coast of Canada and America to western Europe and Russia. In summer, their broad, triangular beaks and legs are bright orange but in winter, following the end of the breeding season, they dull to a grey colour. What do puffins look like?Ītlantic puffins are very distinctive small black and white birds, with stocky bodies and short wings adapted for swimming their wingspan is 19–25 in (28–30 cm). They are both able to swallow fish under water or carry multiple fish back to their burrow in one go. With wings adapted to swimming and webbed feet for steering, puffins are well adapted for life at sea. Canada becomes extremely happy (presumably because Kumajirou noticed him), and when England asks what happened, Canada replies that "he just received a Christmas present.With their distinctive black and white bodies and brightly coloured beaks, puffins are well known and easily recognisable birds in the auk family. Kumajirou notices, and tells Canada that he wants to help.
Fans may abbreviate his name as Kuma.ĭuring Christmas, when Canada receives a call asking if Santa had arrived there, he apologizes and says he can't fill in for Santa. They are almost never shown without the other. Canada also forgets Kumajirou's name in return.
