About These Birds
Arctic Tern
북극제비갈매기는 모든 동물 중 가장 긴 이동 기록을 보유하고 있어, 매년 북극에서 남극까지 약 7만 km를 왕복합니다. 약 30년의 수명 동안 달을 세 번 왕복하는 거리를 날아다닙니다. 지구상 어떤 생물보다 많은 일광을 경험하는 놀라운 새입니다.
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.
