Did you know that puffins can carry around 10 small fish 🐟 in their bill at a time? Even though these small birds weigh in at just over 1lb, they need to eat around 40 small fish per day to stay healthy.
As true love birds, puffins are monogamous, and in most cases will stay with their mate for life.❤️
Look and listen. The #walrus is an amazing animal! Come visit them @ptdefiancezoo

Green sea turtles are the largest hard-shelled sea turtle, growing up to 4 feet long and weighing up to 350 pounds. They eat mostly seagrasses and algae which gives their fat a green color. #funfactfriday #greenseaturtle

FUN FACT FRIDAY!
Did you know walruses can sleep in the water? They come equipped with pharyngeal pouches - inflatable sacs on their throats 😯. These pouches can fill with up to 13 gallons of air which creates a pillow that hold the walruses vertically in the ocean, keeping their heads above water 🌊. Isn't nature amazing?!
