Insane Rockhopper penguins leaping onto a dangerous cliff

Rockhopper penguins have their name for a reason -- they hop on the rocks! But these are some very tough birds because the rocks they prefer on on cliffs. Not only do they have to battle the crashing waves of the ocean to get on land, but they also have to get to their nests at the top of the cliffs. Watch their amazing acrobatics as they leap from the waves onto the cliff.

You'd think they would get hurt from the waves pummeling them against the rocks.

Wow, I'm privileged to see this rare video of actual "insane" animals. You don't usually see animals that are not sane. We usually see nature videos of animals just going about their business instinctively, but I guess hopping onto cliff faces is NOT a trait of rockhopper penguins, which must, necessarily, put them in the "insane" category, as they are not doing anything beneficial for their gene pool or their individual betterment. Amazing. They don't LOOK insane. Although admittedly, they bear a little resemblance to Joker.
