If you can catch one, though that may be violating animal harassment laws. No penguins in Alaska though, try the other hemisphere.

You don't have to go to Alaska or live there
Actually some private zoos sale these kind of wild animals
like jaguars giraffes or even commodore dragons
There is a kind of penguin which lives on Galapagos islands
They have got a funky look and they are quite energetic
If you can buy a couple of them I'm pretty sure you can generate them an environment like Galapagos in your house
However wild animals should live in wild.

Penguins aren't really that aggressive...as a species, I'm sure there are birds out there with some attitude problems. If you watch zookeepers feed them, they don't seem to be mean at all, except to the fish that they're devouring. They are also strickly a southern hemisphere bird...I don't believe they're any farther North than the Galapogos Islands(Galapagos penguins). The coldweather penguins are all in Antarctica.

Firstly, I doubt that wild penguins are very friendly..
Secondly, the only penguins you will find in Alaska will be in the zoo.
Penguins are a sourthern bird...

One of the most gentle and peaceful animal I think.They are beautiful...and even if it is a clumsy bird on land it is one of the most graceful animal in water.I suppose you can have one as a pet.

i think so. although you would have to catch it as a baby so it can get used to humans. since not all penguins live in cold weather
