==Habitat and distribution== [[File:Rockhopper penguin.jpg|thumb|Rockhopper penguin skeleton in [[Manchester Museum]]]] Northern rockhopper penguins breed in cool temperate climates including on the islands of [[Gough Island|Gough]] and [[Tristan da Cunha]] in the Atlantic Ocean and [[Saint Paul and Amsterdam Islands]] in the Indian Ocean. The southern rockhopper breeds on the [[Falkland Islands]], Argentina and Chile, with breeding colonies around Cape Horn in South America, and [[Gough Island|Gough]], Prince Edward, [[Marion Island|Marion]], [[Crozet Island|Crozet]], [[Kerguelen Island|Kerguelen]], Heard, Macquarie, [[Campbell Island, New Zealand|Campbell]], Auckland and Antipodes Islands in the southern Indian Ocean. Eastern rockhopper penguins are mostly found breeding on Campbell Island in New Zealand, but their numbers have declined immensely. <ref>Rockhopper Penguin: Eudyptes chrysocome. (n.d.). Retrieved October 24, 2014.</ref> Rockhopper penguins usually make their habitat in rocky shorelines. They make nests and burrows in tall grasses called [[Tussock (grass)|tussock]]s.
