The nearly 4-month-old male puffin at the Central Park Zoo is delighting visitors, showcasing its ‘chick floof’ as it joins a colony of adult Atlantic puffins.
Atlantic puffins are described as the 'clowns of the sea' due to their distinctive black-and-white feathers and large, colorful bills, adding charm to the zoo's exhibit.
The Central Park Zoo's new puffin has captured the hearts of many visitors, who express their joy on social media with comments about its adorable appearance and adolescent plumage.
As a vulnerable species that feeds on small fish, the Atlantic puffin can grow nearly a foot long and has an average lifespan of 25 years.
