Ricky the rockhopper penguin
Adopt Ricky, ZSL London Zoo’s youngest rockhopper penguin.
Ricky is often found chilling out by the side of the penguin pool, usually being kept company by Rocko his fellow rockhopper. It is easy to spot the difference between the terrible twosome, Rocko has his yellow feathers which show he is an adult whereas Ricky is still too young for his. However, Ricky's adult feathers are on their way and he should be proudly showing them off in the next few months.
