Okay, these little Rockhopper penguins have to battle life and death conditions every day just to eat -- and this video was recorded on a calm day! They truly are amazing animals. They're also classified as Vulnerable, with decreasing populations. Major threats to Southern Rockhopper Penguins are loss of food to fisheries, entanglement in fishing nets, and oil pollution.

Please consider supporting our conservation projects to keep these amazing penguins protected.
