Puffins: Nature’s Clowns with a Purpose

Puffins: Nature’s Clowns with a Purpose

Chris recently made a trip to the UK and able to visit Puffin Island, off Wales. Thus, we wanted to be sure you did not miss this podcast on this incredible bird! Puffins are charismatic seabirds often called the “clowns of the sea.” We explore their evolutionary journey, how these birds have adapted to thrive both in the air and underwater, and what makes their behavior and physiology so unique , from their spectacular diving skills to their vibrant seasonal beak. We also shine a light on their conservation status, the challenges they face due to climate change, overfishing, and habitat loss, and what’s being done to protect their future. Finally, we discuss why puffins matter, not just as icons of the North Atlantic, but as vital indicators of ocean health and ecosystem balance. Join us as we uncover the hidden depths of one of nature’s most beloved birds. =========================================================== Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
