Fascinating Facts About Rockhopper Penguins

Rockhopper penguins get their name from their habit of hopping over steep rocks and boulders rather than sliding on their bellies like other penguins. They are distinguished by bright yellow crest feathers that stick out sideways from their heads, along with vivid red eyes. These small seabirds breed on rocky islands across the southern oceans and can jump up to six feet across rugged terrain.
