Northern Rockhopper Penguin
You can spot these guys by the cool yellow feathers above their eyes! Out of all 18 penguin species, they're known for being the feistiest. They build their nests with grass and twigs on flat or gently sloped areas surrounded by cliffs, and they lay two eggs. Both mom and dad take turns keeping the eggs warm!
