Sneaky Puffin Birds Hide Out Under The Dirt On England’s Farne Island

Our planet is filled with so many breathtaking creatures wandering the world with us. From the depths of the ocean to the tops of clouds, you can't step outside without greeting at least one of nature's beautiful animals. Sure, some of them are a bit more dangerous than others and should definitely be observed with extreme caution, but others are happy to say hello. Again, though, it is never a good idea to approach an animal you aren't completely familiar with.

Luckily, as the host of BBC's World Beneath Your Feet, Dallas Campbell was able to call on the warden of Farne Island, located off the coast of England, for assistance in finding a few of the island's cutest critters. They're searching for puffins, a breed of bird that you might recognize as often confused with the equally adorable penguins. However, the two species aren't related to each other at all.

They do both have their share of curious quirks, though. While penguins are known for their lack of flight, puffins take that one step further by actually burrowing their petite bodies beneath the ground for their shelter. They do fly low over the waters to hunt for fish, but spend their downtime digging deep into the dirt.

As they walk along the grass, Campbell and Steel try to listen now and then for one of their hiding spots. It doesn't take long for Steel to hit the jackpot as he reaches his arm into the earth. Take a look to see how many sweet faces he finds!
