Catch Of The Day For The Fatling

The Atlantic Puffin’s beak is serrated to help hold onto fish as hunts, and it has been recorded with up to 83 sand eels in its beak. Puffins are also equipped with an extra bone in its jaw to prevent the fish at the tip from falling out. Photo Courtesy of: silly-kat
