Puffins vs. Penguins
Many guests mistaken our puffins for penguins, and while there are some similarities between these black-and-white sea birds, there are a lot of differences too. All four species of puffin are found in the Northern Hemisphere, while many of the 17 species of penguin live south of the equator. There’s size to consider, too—penguins are larger than puffins. Another key difference is their ability to fly. You probably know that penguins can’t fly, but did you know that puffins can? Both birds are expert swimmers.
