Did you know?

Puffins hide their beaks underneath their wings while sleeping. This protects them from loosing to much body heat in the cold north.

Did you know that the fluke of a humpback is unique like a fingerprint? Scientist use this to their advantage ti identify whales globally.

Scientists found that some northern gannets, that survived the bird flu, had one eye completely or partly blackend. No one knows if that really impacts the birds lifes but so far there is no sign for that.

Nice to know:

Many think that puffins build nests on rocky cliffs but actually they dig themselves burrows in steep grassy cliffs or hills along the coast. They try to return to the same burrow every year to meet up with their partner
