These penguins are the smallest in the world, and they live 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador right in the Galapagos Islands.

The biggest populations can be seen mainly on the islands of Fernandina and Isabela.

Galapagos island penguins are similar to the Magellanic penguins except that the black band in the Galapagos penguin is thinner and they are smaller in size. http://www.galapagos-islands-tourguide.com/galapagos-island-penguins.html

Penguins are found in a variety of habitats. Four of the 17 species of penguins live along the coast of Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. None are able to venture far inland on the Antarctic, as there is nothing on the Antarctic continent to support life. They depend on the ocean for their survival, whether it be the Antarctic waters or the more temperate waters of the coasts of South America and Australia.

Others are found elsewhere within the Antarctic Circle to temperate regions further north, including New Zealand, southern Australia, the Falkland Islands, the Galápagos Islands (which is a tropical habitat) and the coastlines of South America and southern Africa.

All penguins are found only in the Southern Hemisphere.
