Small seabirds in the auk family, similar to puffins, found in the North Pacific Ocean with distinctive features like colorful beaks and feet.
From 'auk' (origin unclear, possibly imitative of their calls) plus diminutive suffix '-let.' Auklets are smaller relatives of the larger auks like puffins and guillemots.
Auklets are incredible deep divers despite being tiny—some species can dive over 600 feet underwater to catch fish, using their wings like flippers underwater just like penguins do, even though they're on opposite ends of the planet.
