Penguins are a kind of birds, only distributed in the polar regions of high latitudes, but not in both the Antarctic and the Arctic. There are many kinds of penguins, and these penguins only live in the Antarctic region, not in the Arctic region. These penguins live on glaciers in the Antarctic region, and when they hunt, they go to the ocean and eat some of the animals in the ocean. Of course, the Arctic region is not from the beginning without penguins, there is a penguin once lived in the Arctic region, but has been extinct for a long time. There are many reasons for their extinction, among which human hunting and environmental mutation are two important reasons.
As mentioned above, most penguin species currently live in the Antarctic. So many people will have a question, the Arctic region also lived a penguin, if the current life of these penguins in the Antarctic region to the Arctic region, they can survive? Many people think that penguins can live in the Arctic because the Arctic and Antarctic regions are both polar regions and have the same latitude. In fact, this view is wrong, although the Arctic and Antarctic latitudes are the same, but the distribution pattern of land and sea is completely different, the Arctic is a continent surrounded by the ocean, the Antarctic is an ocean surrounded by land, which leads to the climate of the two places is very different. Penguins adapted to the Antarctic environment may not adapt to the Arctic, and may die as a result.
Another important reason is that there are more large carnivores in the Arctic, such as polar bears. There are fewer large carnivores in Antarctica, because the cold climate in Antarctica prevents large plants from growing in Antarctica, there are no large herbivores, and there will be no large carnivores later. If penguins are moved to the Arctic, they may be killed by polar bears.
