Dives over 500 feet to chase fish. One of the deepest-diving flying birds on Earth.
- Populasi
- Roughly 15–22+ million individuals globally; population trend increasing
- Habitat
- Marine seabird of cold arctic and subarctic waters (typically below ~5°C); breeds in dense colonies on narrow ledges of steep sea cliffs, and otherwise spends nearly the entire year far offshore, often near pack ice and along the continental shelf edge
- Fakta menarik
- Thick-billed Murre chicks leave their sea-cliff nest ledges at only about three weeks old (18–25 days) — well before they can fly — jumping off the cliff edge toward the ocean below at nightfall while a parent glides alongside them.
- Sebaran
- Circumpolar in the Arctic and high Arctic — breeding colonies from the Kuril Islands and Bering Sea across Alaska, Arctic Canada, Newfoundland/Labrador, Greenland, and Svalbard to Scandinavia and the Russian Arctic; winters at sea south into the North Pacific and North Atlantic (e.g., off central Japan, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and the British Isles)
