The Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) is a small, pelagic seabird found in the North Atlantic, known for its brightly colored beak and unique appearance. Often called the "clown of the sea," the puffin is an agile swimmer, using its wings to propel through water in search of small fish, which it carries in its beak to feed its young. Its skull structure reflects its adaptations for diving and carrying multiple fish, with a robust beak and skull suited for a life both at sea and in rocky coastal burrows.

This Atlantic Puffin skull replica is created from a 3D scan of a genuine specimen, ensuring that each detail of the puffin's skull is authentically represented. Made from durable resin and carefully hand-painted, the replica captures the skull's unique shape and features, from the distinctive beak structure to the compact, lightweight bone design.

Perfect for educators, ornithologists, and marine enthusiasts, this Atlantic Puffin skull replica is a valuable educational tool for studying seabird anatomy and adaptations. It also makes an engaging display piece for collections focused on marine wildlife and the unique avian species of the North Atlantic.
