Penguin is a kind of creature that we are all familiar with, and they live in the very cold polar region. The Arctic and Antarctic belong to the polar region, but penguins only live in the Antarctic region, and many penguin species currently live in the Antarctic region. In the Arctic, there are no penguins. However, the absence of penguins in the Arctic region only refers to the current situation.
There is a kind of penguin that once lived in the Arctic region, called "Arctic penguin". The height of this penguin is about 60 centimeters; The back is black, the head is brown, and the abdomen is white, which makes him look like a well-dressed gentleman. In fact, they were originally distributed very widely in the Arctic surrounding areas, in the northern part of Canada, Russia and other countries, as well as in Scandinavia, the number is very large. However, it has been extinct for various reasons, among which human hunting is an important reason.
As mentioned above, penguins are currently only distributed in the Antarctic region, and there is no distribution in the Arctic region. However, there was once a penguin that lived in the Arctic, but it is now extinct. Penguins living in the Antarctic region have adapted to the environment of the Antarctic region, and although the Antarctic and Arctic regions are both polar regions and latitudes are basically the same, but the climate and environment differences between the two regions are very large, because the layout of land and sea in the two regions is different. Therefore, penguins are generally unable to live in the Arctic and may not adapt. Another important reason is that polar bears in the Arctic region will eat penguins as food.
