PUFFIN – THE BIRD
Finally, on a completely different track, but still related to the possibility of Climate Change, is the story of the PUFFIN.
The Puffin are birds that live by diving for fish. They normally are found in huge colonies on islands and crevasses around the Atlantic Ocean, in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in places such as Alaska, Britain, Iceland and Norway. They are famous for coupling for life, with a far smaller divorce rate than humans. 😊
Unfortunately, recently they have been dying in unprecedented numbers. Scientists believe these birds are dying due to Climate Change, because the fish they normally eat have moved away because the ocean is becoming too warm.
