Fratercula cirrhata

Group: Other
Typical depth: 0–59 m
IUCN status: LC

A large auk of the continental shelf that ranges within about 100 kilometres of land, it dives from the surface to chase fish and grows to roughly 40 centimetres. It nests in ground burrows, where adults bark alarm calls that send chicks scrambling to hide, and its diet of fish makes it badly vulnerable to oil spills.
