The Northern Rockhopper Penguin feeds on krill and other sea life such as crustaceans, squid, octopus and fish. Not all experts agree on the classification of these penguins. Some consider all three as distinct species, some split the Western and Eastern forms into the Southern Rockhopper Penguin and keeping the Northern Rockhopper as distinct, while other experts lump all 3 calling it simply Rockhopper Penguin.

A small black-and-white penguin with a wild, bushy yellow crest. Marine and variably pelagic, foraging offshore and nesting on boulder-strewn beaches and among stands of tussock grass. Very similar to Southern Rockhopper Penguin, but slightly larger, with a much larger and denser yellow crest. Extremely vocal, most often giving loud braying and barking sounds with accompanying head-swinging and flipper-beating.
