This specific Atlantic puffin was photographed at the St.Louis zoo in St.Louis, Missouri. Puffins are birds capable of flight but similar to a penguin by their looks and enviormental habitat. The scientific or Latin name for a puffin is Fratercula arctica.
The Atlantic Puffin is a seabird species in the auk family. It is a pelagic bird that feeds primarily by diving for fish, but also eats other sea creatures, such as squid and crustaceans. Its most obvious characteristic during the breeding season is its brightly coloured bill. Also known as the Common Puffin, it is the only puffin species which is found in the Atlantic Ocean.
