Also known as Alca torda
The razorbill (Alca torda) is a North Atlantic colonial seabird and the only extant member of the genus Alca of the family Alcidae, the auks. It is the closest living relative of the extinct great auk (Pinguinus impennis). Historically, it has also been known as "auk", "razor-billed auk" and "lesser auk".
The razorbill is a North Atlantic seabird and the last surviving member of its genus, making it the closest living relative to the extinct great auk. It matters as an important part of alcid diversity and as a living link to understanding a now-vanished species that once shared its ecological niche.
