It deepens on the species, the Galapagos penguins live at the equator!. Something to consider: Of the 18 species of penguins that exist in the world only TWO of them live in the Antarctic. As a matter of fact, the Galapagos penguins live in temperatures that frequently exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit!

∙ 13y agothey can survive only if they are released slowly, as in they're moved slowly to the equator, if they're instantly moved there they'll die unless kept in an area that's very cold, like a zoo/aquarium penguin enclosure with heavy duty air con's
Sorry to interrupt but penguins that come from Antarctica CAN survive hot weather because Antarctica used to be really hot tropical island but it slowly drifted off south and many died cause it got to cold for them. Only penguins could survive. Well You are right if the penguins were took care of in COLD COLD weather so that they cant stand the hotness around them. Also to answer your question, they can shead like dogs and cats when their hot.Hope this helped you a lot. :)Wiki User
∙ 12y agoyeah, some live on islands actually. Most penguins live in moderate or even warm temps - like islands off Africa, including Madagascar, Galapagos, and others. Penguins even live in a forrest like in New Zealand, but still go to the water for food. Out of 17 species of penguins, only about 5 live in the cold weather.
