• Have you ever seen an animal that looks like a
  penguin that also looks like a duck? I bet if you
  look again its a puffin. Also even though it
  looks like a penguin its not as tall. How about
  you come with me to the Atlantic ocean and lets
  look for some puffins. If you want to know more,
  read on!

• So now that were at the Atlantic ocean,
  let me tell you what the Puffin looks like. Its
  black, white and orange and its about 8-10
  inches tall. It has webbed feet with a triangular
  beak. It has two small black eyes. That is what
  it looks like.

• So now that were at the Atlantic ocean lets
  learn about the habitat. The puffin lives on an
  island with holes in the ground for shelter. The
  water is cold but its sunny out side. The puffin
  likes to swim in the water during the day time.
  It lives on the Atlantic ocean. If you like what
  youre reading, than read more about the puffins
  food chain and life cycle!

• So now that Im here with you let me tell you
  about its food chain and life cycle. The life
  cycle starts off as an egg, then goes on to a
  chick, and finely the adult. Puffins eat small
  squid, hearing, sand lances, and also eats
  caplelings. People, large gulls, and eagles some
  times eat puffins. That was the food chain and
  life cycle of a puffin.

• The puffin is an endangered animal and we need
  to help them! If you go to the Atlantic ocean and
  if you see a penguin look again and it mite be a
  puffin!
