Rockhopper penguins are known as the “mountaineering” penguins because of their jumping ability on the rocky and inaccessible coasts they live on.
They have acquired their name because they hop up and down steep slopes to go to their nests but to us, this Rockhopper penguin also looks like a surfing rockstar!
