Australia: Rockhopper Penguin's Tap Dance Delights at Perth Zoo

Perth, Australia - October 02, 2024 On October 2nd, Perth Zoo introduced the world to Pascale, a Rockhopper penguin whose tap dance routine has captured hearts worldwide. Rockhopper penguins, standing at a modest 20 inches when fully grown, differ visually from their penguin counterparts. Their unique red eyes, orange beak, and pink webbed feet, coupled with the distinctive yellow and black spiky feathers, set them apart. While male and female Rockhoppers are indistinguishable to the naked eye, requiring a DNA test for gender determination, their vibrant personalities shine through in behaviors like Pascale's impromptu dance.
