Description
The Crested Auklet is found in the North Pacific with it's breeding area in Aleutians and other islands and coasts around Bering Sea. It eats primaily Krill.
Crested auklets rub a citrus-like scent on each other during courtship which is secreted from the feathers on their backs. This behavior called “alloanointing”. While this behavior is well known among some mammals, only Crested and Whiskered Auklets have been found to exhibit this behavior in the bird world. The secreted oil is also believed to protect the birds from parasites, such as ticks.
Their main predators are Herring Gulls and other gulls, Arctic Fox and ravens, but they have been reported in the stomachs of halibut caught on St. Lawrence Island.
Rendered in Poser Pro with minor postwork. Models included: Waves on the Beach (Nerd3d), Songbird ReMix Seabirds and Puffins (Ken Gilliland).
