The Rockhopper
By Andrew

You think the Rockhopper's hair is crazy? Listen to more! The Rockhopper's height is 22 inches. The Rockhopper's weight is 5 to 10 lbs. The Rockhopper lives in the sub Antarctic and on the Falkland Islands. The rock hopper's special features are a crest, he has yellow eyebrows and plumes, he has a red beak and red eyes. He seems to "pop" out of the water onto rocks. He hops from boulder to boulder. He lives in huge colonies (groups). The rock hopper penguins have long yellow feathers on the sides of their heads. They make a simple nest in which they lay two eggs. The strange part is that the first egg laid is always much smaller than the second. I like the Rockhopper, do you?
