Four species of penguin make their home along the Antarctic coastline.
The main bird that people associate with Antarctica are penguins. However, some other black and white birds that call Antarctica their home are Terns, and some species of ducks and geese.
Penguins are found throughout the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. Larger penguins are known to live in colder climates, while there is even a species of penguin that lives near the equator. The species found in Antarctica are King Penguins, Emperor Penguins, chinstrap penguins, Adélie penguins, Gentoo penguins, Yellow-eyed penguin, Southern rockhopper, Eastern rockhopper, Royal penguin, and the Macaroni penguin.
Although no animal lives on the Antarctic continent, you may be thinking of penguins that breed on Antarctica's beaches. Their home is in the sea.
