About These Birds
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.
Peregrine Falcon
매는 세계에서 가장 빠른 동물로, 먹이를 향해 급강하할 때 시속 320km 이상의 속도를 낼 수 있습니다. 남극 대륙을 제외한 전 세계에 분포하며 도시 고층 건물에서도 번식합니다. DDT 사용으로 20세기 중반 크게 줄었다가 현재 회복되었습니다.
