The Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), also known as the common puffin, is a species of seabird in the auk family.
It is the only puffin native to the Atlantic Ocean; two related species, the tufted puffin and the horned puffin, are found in the northeastern Pacific.
The Atlantic puffin breeds in Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Newfoundland and many North Atlantic islands, and as far south as Maine in the west and the British Isles in the east.
The Atlantic puffin has a large population and a wide range.
It is not considered to be endangered although there may be local declines in numbers.
On land, it has the typical upright stance of an auk.
At sea, they swim on the surface and feed mainly on small fish, which they catch by diving underwater, using their wings for propulsion.
