About These Birds
Eastern Rockhopper Penguin
Eastern Rockhopper Penguin, 45–58 cm, breeds on sub-Antarctic islands of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans, including Kerguelen and Campbell Island. Narrower supercilium stripe than Macaroni Penguin. Krill and fish feeder; aggressive and agile on rocky terrain. Vulnerable; declining.
