Northern Rockhopper Penguin

Eudyptes moseleyi

Northern Rockhopper Penguin

The adult breeds on steep, rocky island slopes and forages widely in cold ocean waters. It feeds mainly on krill, squid, and small fish, using powerful flippers to chase prey underwater. Adults are recognized by red eyes and long yellow eyebrow plumes, and they are notably agile climbers despite being flightless seabirds.
