All the Christmas cards and movies showing penguins frolicing with polar bears are wrong. Penguins are found only in the Southern Hemisphere and polar bears are found only in the Arctic regions of northern Canada and Europe. Five species breed in Antarctica and others live in Australia, Africa, and South America.

∙ 14y agoThe penguins diverged from other birds except possibly their closest sister group around 65 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous period. At this time, similar to today, they lived in Australia and Antarctica.
The earliest fossil penguin, Waimanu, was a flightless bird similar to a loon. By now, their wings had evolved for underwater propulsion. Waimanu lived about 62 million years ago, during the Paleogene period, only 3.5 million years after the non avian dinosaurs became extinct.
