Atlantic puffins live most of their lives at sea, and they only come onto land to breed. 60 percent of the world’s population lives in Iceland, and they have been historically hunted for their feathers and meat. The bird showed no signs of fear, even stopping under the tourist’s leg and tapping at her camera lens. After a few minutes the puffin wandered off, leaving the tourist with an unforgettable experience.

Puffins are adorable

His control over the urge to pet and cuddle the adorable bird is just tremendous!!

Love it. The photographer is wearing black, gray, and white with small touches of orange on the shoes and on the camera. That puffin was thinking, "This is the largest puffin I've ever seen!"

I've never heard of puffins until now. They're adorable!!! If I had been that woman, I would have tried, very gentlly, to pet it. It's just too cute to ignore. I'd love to hold one.
-
Such a beautiful and innocent creature of nature
-
It's like a penguin-duck, two of my favorite animals ^__^
-
Puffins mate for life, and it is possible that this guy has lost its mate and is wandering about looking for its life long partner. Possibly even checking out the tourist as a possible replacement but finding the differences just too great.
-
Seems like it was just attracted to the black and white pattern on her camera, probably thought it was another Puffin from afar and came to investigate and then left when it realized it wasn't lol
-
Puffins are very curious and social fellas, it’d be my only wish to get so close to one of these winged sea critters.
-
I love puffins. They always look like they are upset about something but they are adorable.
-
Puffin, easily the most adorable animal.
