In this post we are showcasing Cute and Adorable Puffin Pictures for this beautiful creature lovers. Most of the pictures you find in the collection are of Atlantic Puffin. Puffins are one of my favorite animal. They are just so cute, pretty and colorful. You will find some fantastic captures in this collection. Puffins are any of three small species of auk (or alcids) in the bird genus Fratercula with a brightly coloured beak during the breeding season.

Two species, the Tufted Puffin and Horned Puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic Puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean. All puffin species have predominantly black or black and white plumage, a stocky build, and large beaks. They shed the colourful outer parts of their bills after the breeding season, leaving a smaller and duller beak.

Atlantic Puffin populations drastically declined due to habitat destruction and exploitation during the 19th century and early 20th century. They continue to be hunted in Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Lets jump to the pictures of Puffins below and see how cute they look. From April to August, puffins join together in breeding colonies onshore. The rest of the year they spread out and live far from shore in the open ocean. Young puffins do not join breeding colonies until they are between two and three years old; these birds stay at sea until they mature.
