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.

Two Jackass Penguins on Boulders Beach in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between Granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located in the Cape Peninsula, near Simons Town towards Cape Point, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist stop because of the colony of African Penguins which settled there in 1982. They are an endangered species. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
