Penguins are an animal mainly found in the southern hemisphere. From the specific distribution, there are many penguins in the Antarctic region, where the number of penguins is very large, and often hundreds of penguins gather together. Of course, penguins are not only distributed in the Antarctic region, but also in other latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. There are different varieties of penguins, and the specific distribution areas of different varieties are different. For example, the little blue penguin lives in coastal areas of Australia and New Zealand. In addition, a penguin once lived in the Arctic region, but it is now extinct, and there is no penguin distribution in the Arctic region.
The above has been introduced, there are many penguins living in the Antarctic region, the species and number are relatively large. Although some of them live in middle or low latitudes, the number and variety of penguins are not as good as those in high latitudes. This is because penguins have a special body structure, which makes them choose high latitudes rather than low latitudes. The penguin's feathers are evenly and densely attached to the surface of their body, just like the scales of fish, and the warmth of their subcutaneous fat layer makes them unable to tolerate the warm tropical waters, but only in the high latitude waters.
Because penguins do not like warm water and warm climate in low latitudes, most penguins have stayed in high latitudes and have not continued northward. The warm water flow at low latitudes acts as a natural barrier to prevent penguins from moving northward, so there are basically no penguins in the northern hemisphere.
