Tufted Puffins are around 35 cm ( 15 in ) in length with a similar wingspan and weigh about three quarters of a kilogram ( 1. 6 lbs ).

Juvenile Tufted Puffins resemble winter adults, but with a grey-brown breast shading to white on the belly, and a shallow, yellowish-brown bill.

While they share some habitat with Horned Puffins ( F. corniculata ), the range of the Tufted Puffin is generally more southern.

Tufted Puffins typically select islands or cliffs that are relatively inaccessible to predators, close to productive waters, and high enough that they can take to the air successfully.

Tufted Puffins feed almost exclusively on fish, which they catch by diving from the surface.

Tufted Puffins are preyed upon by various avian raptors such as Snowy Owls, Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons, and mammals like the Arctic Foxes.

Seabird species include Tufted Puffins, the endangered Short-tailed Albatross, Spectacled Eider, and Red-legged Kittiwakes.

F. cirrhata is the namesake of one of its main breeding sites, Kamen Toporkov (" Tufted Puffin Rock ") or Ostrov Toporkov (" Tufted Puffin Island "), an islet offshore Bering Island.

It is a breeding site for birds including Reed Bunting, Tufted Duck and Great Crested Grebe.

The site is important for its breeding bird populations including: Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe, Mute Swan, Tufted Duck, Common Snipe and Common Redshank.

The lake regularly hosts small numbers of common waterfowl, including breeding Little and Great Crested Grebes and Mute Swan, and wintering Tufted Duck and Pochard.

Other birds found here include Lapwing, Coot, Goldeneye, Tufted Duck, Pochard, Teal, Wigeon, Cormorant, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe and, most notably, Osprey, which were re-introduced to the area during 1996.

Fossils from North Carolina were originally thought to have been of two Fratercula species, but were later reassigned to one Fratercula, the Tufted Puffin, and a Cerorhinca species.

* Hybrids between the Tufted Duck and the Common Pochard ( A. ferina ) are almost indistinguishable from Lesser Scaup, though neither parent species resembles A. affinis.

The first U. S. record of the Northern Tufted Flycatcher ( Mitrephanes phaeocercus ), a Central American species, was from this site in November 1991.

The pure white undertail helps to distinguish this species from the somewhat similar Tufted Duck.

In this segment, Hoober-Bloob babies don't have to be human if they don't choose to be, so Mr. Hoober-Bloob shows them a variety of different animals, including ones from " If I Ran The Zoo ", such as Obsks, Bippo-No-Bungus, a Tizzle-Topped Tufted Mazurka, the helicopter bug, the Chuggs, the hens that roost atop each other, and an Elephant-Cat.

The Tufted Puffin ( Fratercula cirrhata ) also known as Crested Puffin, is a relatively abundant medium-sized pelagic seabird in the auk ( Alcidae ) family found throughout the North Pacific Ocean.

The Tufted Puffin is a familiar bird on the coasts of the Russian Pacific coast, where it is known as Toporik ( Топорик ) – roughly meaning " axe-bill " –, while the other puffins are collectively called túpiki ( ту ́ пики ) in Russian.

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.

The Rhinoceros Auklet ( Cerorhinca monocerata ) has sometimes been included in the genus Fratercula, and some authors place the Tufted Puffin in the genus Lunda.
