22-kenai-fjords-common-murres: Murres are the arctic's version of the penguin. Murres look, eat, act, swim, and sound like penguins. The 2 main differences are that penguins are only found in the southern hemisphere, and that murres can fly.
These common murres are about 3 stories up. Our captain warned us that even though they can fly, they can't fly very well. If we saw one coming straight at us, we weren't to assume that it would be adroit enough to veer off course at the last second. We should duck. Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska |
