Rockhoppers are spirited characters.

It's just as well.

As soon as they're ashore, the waves reclaim them.

因为刚上岸，海浪就会把它们卷回去

The heavy swells toss them like flotsam, but they won't be deterred.

它们像浮萍一样受制于巨大的海浪，但这并不会让它们退却

Success at last!

终于成功了

But victory is brief.

但这只是短暂的胜利

Despite their ordeal, they must try again

尽管命运多舛，但它们必须继续尝试

a new generation of rockhoppers depends on it.

新一代的跳岩企鹅的繁衍就全靠它们了

When they do, RockhopperCam will be ready.

那时，跳岩企鹅摄像机也已经准备就绪

The surprising home of our third and least known penguin... The Humboldt.

They're so shy that they've rarely been filmed,

but already HumboldtCam is capturing the closest shots ever recorded.

尽管如此，洪堡企鹅摄像机已经捕捉到了历史上最近距离的镜头

It even moves among them without ruffling a feather.

Humboldts are the only mainland penguin to live in the tropics.

洪堡企鹅是唯一一种生活在热带的陆地企鹅

Their survival depends on the Humboldt current that brings both food and cold water to these shores.

Like the other penguins,

与其他种类的企鹅一样

they accept the SpyCam as one of their own, even testing its reaction.

But it's only a brief encounter.
