Penguins are found in much of the southern hemisphere with their range extending well into the tropics on the western sid of the continents. There is one penguin on the equator, the Galapagos penguin.

There are two penguins that breed only on the Antarctic mainland, the Emperor and the Adelie. Others that breed on the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands are the Chinstrap, Gentoo, King, Rockhopper and Royal/Macaroni. New Zealand has five species - Fjordland, Yellow-eyed, Erect crested, Snares island and Little. Australia has the Little penguin on the mainland but Macquarie Island, south of but part of Tasmania, has four of the sub-Antarctic penguins. South Africa has the Jackass or Cape penguin and South America has the Magellanic and Peruvian as well as the Galapagos.
