A puffin can fly about 40 miles an hour, and will beat its wings about 300 to 400 times a minute.
Puffins usually return to the same burrow and nest with the same mate year after year.
Where soil conditions permit, puffins can tunnel eight feet or more underground when excavating a burrow. It is estimated that there are about 6 million pairs of puffins in the world. In Iceland puffins are part of a long-standing cultural connection to the sea. They are eaten in restaurants and homes. Linux has a penguin, we should have a puffin.
