The only penguin found in the Northern Hemisphere is the ?

Answer 1

I would like to take credit for my answer but I had to look it up, so I listed my source.

Penguins do not live in the wild in any location in the Northern Hemisphere. This includes the continents of North America, Europe, and Asia. There are no penguins living in the wild in the Arctic regions of the North Pole. The only penguins living in the Northern Hemisphere are living in zoos or in wildlife displays. There are no penguins living in the wild in the Northern Hemisphere. The northern most colony of penguins are located in the Galapagos Island. The Galapagos Penguins can survive close to the equator because the Humboldt current brings cold waters to the islands from the Antarctic.

Answer 2

Northern Hemisphere Penguins

Answer 3

Penguins evolved in the Southern Hemisphere taking advantage of the very rich fish stocks in the cold currents of the Southern Ocean. They need to have plentiful supplies of fish to survive and the conditions for large schools of fish and crustaceans only occur in cold waters. So although the conditions are suitable both in the Northern and Southern Polar regions, the penguins have never managed to cross into the cold Northern waters. Penguins can be found anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere where there are cold ocean currents. The most northerly penguins are found on the equator in the Galapagos Islands. The Humboldt Current carries cold Antarctic waters right up the coast of South America to the equator and provides sufficiently rich fishing grounds for the penguins. However, to cross the much warmer tropical waters to reach the cold northern waters which only extend down to Northern Europe, Russia and Canada, has proved to be too great a journey for the penguins.
