Erect-crested penguin Eudyptes sclateri in Bounty Islands

$Taxon name: Northern Rockhopper Penguin\nTaxon scientific name: Eudyptes moseleyi\nLocation: Tasmania, Australia$

Antarctica is a continent capped by an inland ice sheet up to 4.8km thick, containing approximately 90 percent of the world's total surface fresh water and 60 percent of the world's total fresh water. The ice sheet is so heavy that it has pushed the land below sea level in places.

Rockhoppers are the most widespread crested penguins

Rockhoppers are distinguished from other crested penguins by their smaller size and by having only a thin yellow superscilium. The feather plumes are yellow, not orange as in Macaroni Penguin, and thinner than in the remaining Eudyptes species. The red eye is distinctive. Southern Rockhopper Penguins differ from their Northern counterparts in having a narrower supercilium and shorter plumes, which reach just over the black throat. Their vocalisations are also different. The Southern Rockhopper actually comprises two subspecies that have been described and can be identified in the field: the nominate form from South America and the Falkland Islands and the eastern subspecies filholi from the New Zealand sub-Antarctic islands. The eastern form mainly differs from the nominate subspecies in having a pink line of fleshy skin along the lower mandible which is black in the nominate subspecies. Immature birds have only a narrow supercilium and a pale mottled grey chin. Identification of juveniles is difficult. Shape of the supercilium, bill shape, body size and underwing pattern can aid identification. Separation of juvenile Southern and Northern Rockhopper Penguins in the field is probably impossible.

The Southern Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes (chrysocome) chrysocome) is a small penguin that breeds along the southern coasts of Chile and Argentina as well as offshore islands, including major colonies on the Falkland Islands. Until recently, the Rockhopper Penguins were considered one species (and still are by many authors), but have been split into this species and the Eastern and Northern Rockhoppers, with Eastern breeding in the south Pacific and Northern on Tristan De Cunha and Gough islands in the south Atlantic. The Southern Rockhopper is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, while the Northern is listed as Endangered.
