Eastern Rockhopper Penguin
Eudyptes filholi
Not EvaluatedThe Eastern Rockhopper Penguin is a flightless seabird of southern Indian and Pacific Ocean islands from Prince Edward Islands to New Zealand subantarctic islands. It swims with powerful flipper-like wings, feeds mainly on fish, krill, or squid, and comes ashore or onto ice to breed in colonies. It has not been clearly assessed as a separate species in the current IUCN-backed data used here, so the catalog keeps that uncertainty visible.
