Today's Species Spotlight highlights two of the cutest animals there are, penguins and puffins. Many people get these black-and-white birds mixed up. So, we’re here to set the penguin and puffin confusion straight. Check out the differences and similarities between these specialized seabirds.

For more than a decade, SeaWorld has contributed to the success of a seabird conservation program off the coast of Maine, called “Project Puffin.”

Launched in 1973 by the National Audubon Society, the program has developed techniques to restore puffins and other seabirds to habitats once decimated by human activities.
