There are three classifications of rockhoppper penguins:

  • Southern Rockhopper Penguin, Eudyptes chrysocome.
  • Northern Rockhopper Penguin, Eudyptes moseleyi.
  • Eastern Rockhopper Penguin, Eudyptes (chrysocome) filholi
The southern rockhopper penguin lives in Antarctica and in other Southern Hemisphere geographies.


From Wikipedia:


This is the smallest yellow-crested, black-and-white penguin in the genus Eudyptes. It reaches a length of 45-58 cm (18-23 in) and typically weighs 2-3.4 kg (4.4-7.5 lb).


It has slate-grey upper parts and a straight, bright yellow eyebrow ending in long yellowish plumes projecting sideways behind a red eye.
