Penguin

Penguins are a group of flightless seabirds found in the Southern Hemisphere. The greatest number is found on the coasts of Antarctica and on the subantarctic islands. Some penguin species live as far north as the Galapagos Islands on the Equator and the subtropical coasts of South America, South Africa and Australia.

But even in warm areas, they live only where cold water currents exist, such as the Humboldt Current along the western coast of South America and Benguela and Agulhas Currents around South Africa. Of the 17 species of penguins, the largest, such as the Emperor and Adelie penguins, are found in the Antarctic.
