Atlantic Puffin
At burrow gives a low, moaning 'arr-arr-arr' growl. Silent at sea. At breeding colonies produces a series of grunting croaks. Chicks give soft peeping calls.

About These Birds
African Penguin
아프리카펭귄은 아프리카 대륙에 고유한 유일한 펭귄 종으로, 당나귀 울음소리 같은 울음 때문에 자카스펭귄이라고도 불린다. 남아프리카와 나미비아의 해안과 섬에 서식한다. 현재 멸종 위기종으로, 어업과 서식지 훼손으로 인해 지난 세기 동안 개체수가 급격히 감소했다.
Atlantic Puffin
대서양퍼핀은 '바다의 광대'라 불리는 매력적인 바닷새로, 북부 해식애의 굴에 둥지를 틉니다. 입천장의 뒤를 향한 가시 덕분에 한 번에 12마리의 물고기를 부리에 횡으로 물 수 있습니다. 기후 변화와 남획이 먹이 공급을 위협하면서 개체수가 감소하고 있습니다.
