This is the Rockhopper penguin! With some very colorful feathers on their heads, it is hard to mistake the Rockhopper Penguin for anything else. These crazy colors that are on feathers in all directions remind many people of the punk rock generation. It is due to this distinction that they are classified as crested penguins. They are the smallest in that category, weighing no more than five pounds when they are adults. They can be found in the Antarctic and live in huge flocks! Feeding on crustaceans and fish these birds are very fast swimmers and are excellent hunters as well. There are three subspecies of rockhopper penguins in the arctic as well. #animal #animals #animalfact #animalfacts #zoo #zoology #wild #wildlife #educate #education #eco #ecofriendly #conservation #preservation #jacobsark #bio #biology #love #follow #followme #bird #birds #ave #avian #penguin #marinebiology #fortworthzoo #nature #enviornment (at Fort Worth Zoo)
