Tawaki piki toka | Eastern rockhopper penguin

From Afternoons, 3:35 pm today

Instead of waddling on land, they pop out of breaking waves and use their impressively clawed feet to hop up and over slippery, steep rocks.

Like all crested penguins, they sport a bright yellow punk hairdo (or crest) on their jet-black heads and a chonky red-pink bill.
