Rockhopper Penguin Toy

History:

There is some confusion among scientists about whether the Rockhopper Penguin is a single species, or three closely related species. The three types, the Southern, Eastern and Northern Rockhopper Penguins, are sometimes treated as subspecies. The Southern Rockhopper is considered a vulnerable species, while the Northern is considered endangered, with a population decline estimated at 90% since the 1950s.
