Auks live in the northern hemisphere (north of 25°N). They are relatives of penguins but can fly.
The northern hemisphere counterpart would be the Auk. Auks are from a completely different evolutionary family than penguins. Auks can fly but look and act a lot like penguins. Penguins and auks are a good example of evolutionary convergence.
Auks are seabirds with compact bodies, short wings, and webbed feet adapted for swimming. They have black and white plumage, with some species having colorful bills during the breeding season. Auks are excellent divers and feed on fish and other marine life.
I do.
The feeding behaviour of auks varies between auk species, however in general they feed on small to medium sized fish. Unfortunately, the Great Auk is now extinct.
yes mostly Great Auks
People eat auks primarily due to cultural traditions and historical practices in certain regions, particularly in Arctic and sub-Arctic communities where these birds are abundant. Auks are often hunted for their meat, which is considered a valuable source of protein, and for their eggs, which are also a food source. Additionally, the consumption of auks is tied to local customs and heritage, reflecting a connection to the land and traditional ways of life. However, this practice raises conservation concerns, as some auk species are threatened or endangered.
