Random information on the term “AUK”:
An auk or alcid is a bird of the family Alcidae in the order Charadriiformes. The alcid family includes the murres, guillemots, auklets, puffins, and murrelets. The word “auk” /ɔːk/ is derived from Icelandic álka, from Old Norse alka (auk), from Proto-Germanic *alkǭ (sea-bird, auk). The family contains 25 extant or recently extinct species that are divided into 11 genera.
Apart from the extinct great auk, all auks can fly, and are excellent swimmers (appearing to “fly”) and divers, but their walking appears clumsy.
Several species have different English names in Europe and North America. The two species known as murres in North America are called guillemots in Europe, and the species called little auk in Europe is referred to as dovekie in North America.
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 are monomorphic (males and females are similar in appearance).
