From losing their signature colors, to ditching their mates for eight months, researcher Jill Taylor describes these seabirds as adorable, awkward, and resilient. We wanted to know; where do puffins go after the four-month-long mating season? They have waterproof feathers, they're excellent divers, I'm sure some of you have seen puffins try to walk on land, like I said they're super awkward on land. "They're small birds, but they have a large weight compared to their wingspan so they're really bad at flying." "If you've ever seen a puffin try to take off from the water it's very chaotic and probably the least graceful thing you've ever seen," Taylor continued.
