Listen in as we take our first flight into our friends the seabirds! We discuss the equatorial grudge match of penguins vs. puffins; these birds may look similar, but their differences may surprise you. We welcome Evan Hennerberry to give more insight on these tuxedoed pals.

BIG TAKEAWAY: Despite living on opposite sides of the world, these birds face many of the same threats. Areas of the world who use very little fossil fuels, like the poles, can be some of the most vulnerable to climate change effects. When we decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, we help keep these incredible animals around for future generations!

**Stay tuned at the end for some corrections!
