Rockhopper Penguin Trivia:

• Rockhopper penguins are the most widespread of the crested penguins and also the smallest.
• They are the only penguins that enter the water feet first..
• 'Rockies' have a very loud cry called 'ecstatic vocalization', which is used to announce their presence, to attract a mate or to state their territory. Also, by shaking their heads they cause their yellow eyebrows to fly into a 'halo' in order to attract a mate.
• Rockhoppers literally leap from the water and grab on to any perch they can with their beak, flippers and feet.
