Auk
An auk is a bird of the family Alcidae in the order Charadriiformes. Extant auks range in size from the least auklet, at 85 g (3Â oz) and 15Â cm (5.9Â in), to the thick-billed murre, at 1Â kg (2.2Â lb) and 45Â cm (18Â in). They are good swimmers and divers, but their walking appears clumsy. Modern auks can fly (except for the extinct great auk). Due to their short wings, auks have to flap their wings very quickly in order to fly.
Auks are superficially similar to penguins having black-and-white colours, upright posture and some of their habits. Nevertheless, they are not closely related to penguins, but rather are believed to be an example of moderate convergent evolution.
Auks live on the open sea and go ashore only for breeding, although some species, like the common guillemot, spend a great part of the year defending their nesting spot from others.
Several species have different common names in Europe and North America. The guillemots of Europe are murres in North America, if they occur in both continents, and the little auk becomes the dovekie.

The Tragic End of the Great Auk
Holocene Extinction Episode 4: The Great Auk The Great Auk or Pinguinus impennis is the equivalent of the penguins in the northern hemisphere, in fact, the early sailors who ventured far into the Antarctic seas in the southern hemisphere used the great auk's generic name "Pinguinus" to call the flightless birds there now formally known as "penguin" due to their similar appearance and probably behaviour. Sadly, the great auks were subjected to excessive hunting by humans which caused their species to cease to exist.

Great Auks: The First Penguins
Whilst we may often think of penguins as of an Antarctic persuasion, until relatively recently, Arctic waters were home to their very own penguins. Some might even call them THE penguins, their southern relatives only co-opting their name. Sadly, these penguins are no more – the result of rampant human over-exploitation. Their story is a sad one, but by recognising it, we can act to prevent it from ever happening again. ------------------------------------------------ Looking for more Tales of Discovery?

Auk
An auk is a bird of the family Alcidae in the order Charadriiformes. Extant auks range in size from the least auklet, at 85 g (3Â oz) and 15Â cm (5.9Â in), to the thick-billed murre, at 1Â kg (2.2Â lb) and 45Â cm (18Â in). They are good swimmers and divers, but their walking appears clumsy. Modern auks can fly (except for the extinct great auk). Due to their short wings, auks have to flap their wings very quickly in order to fly.
Auks are superficially similar to penguins having black-and-white colours, upright posture and some of their habits. Nevertheless, they are not closely related to penguins, but rather are believed to be an example of moderate convergent evolution.
Auks live on the open sea and go ashore only for breeding, although some species, like the common guillemot, spend a great part of the year defending their nesting spot from others.
Several species have different common names in Europe and North America. The guillemots of Europe are murres in North America, if they occur in both continents, and the little auk becomes the dovekie.

Nous Sommes Tous Une Ombre
by: ElistaPerdue dans le nombre
Au milieu de la gare
O? tout semble tourner
Perdue dans le nombre
O? les passants s? garent
En d? but de journ? e
Elle attend seule au monde
Au moment o? la fr? le
L? ombre d? un passager
Se retournant quand l? ombre
Par-dessus son? paule

« Nous sommes tous une ombre
Avant qu? on nous regarde
Avant d? tre? cout? s
Nous sommes tous une ombre
Dont l? armure se l? zarde
