All penguins live in the southern half of the world. Many people are surprised because not all penguins live in cold places. Some penguins live in very warm places like on or very close to the equator.
Penguins live on four different continents.
There are at least 18 different kinds of penguins. Adelies and Emperors penguins can stay alive in cold weather longer then any other animal in the world. This is the same as the fastest human runner, and four times as fast as the fastest human swimmer. Penguins can swim almost as fast as the Bottlenose Dolphin. Penguins get all of their food from the ocean.
