The puffin (Fratercula arctica) is a bird in the family of auks (Alcidae). The species' scientific name was published in 1758 as Alca arctica by Carl Linnaeus,[2] who based the name on descriptions and illustrations by various authors who called the species 'Anas arctica'. It is the smallest species in the genus Fratercula. The puffin reaches 28 to 34 cm in length. It has a wingspan of 50 to 60 cm and weighs about 300 to 700 grams. It is easily recognised from a short distance by its black and white plumage and large, brightly coloured bill during the breeding season. In winter, the bill is smaller and black, and in late summer the outer layers disappear. The beak of juveniles is smaller than that of adults.
