The rockhopper penguin is well equipped to withstand the cold. He doesn't mind the icy temperatures. Its dense plumage protects it perfectly from the cold. It shoots through the sea with powerful fin strokes - on the hunt for fish. He turns out to be a real professional swimmer! Once it has its prey in its sights, there is no escape. As cute as the rockhopper penguin looks with its waddling gait on land: Here, too, it moves amazingly skilfully. He balances over rugged rocks and steep cliffs. Impressive!
