Rockhopper penguins have their name for a reason -- they hop on the rocks! But these are some very tough birds because the rocks they prefer on on cliffs. Not only do they have to battle the crashing waves of the ocean to get on land, but they also have to get to their nests at the top of the cliffs. Watch their amazing acrobatics as they leap from the waves onto the cliff.
