Any place where their food (mostly fish) is abundant and there is a place with few predators to hunt while they reproduce. The biggest predators of most penguins are like killer whales - in the water. With that in mind, on top of the fact that penguins have evolved to stay warm in cold climates, penguins have a comfortable niche in the arctic and antarctic.

What is the niche of an African penguin)?

A niche is the role that an organism plays in it's environment, so when finding the niche of the African penguin you have to consider, where it sits in the food web, it eats and limits the population of small fish such as pilchards, anchovies, horse mackerel, and sardines. It is a food source for sharks and fur seals, so without the penguin, these animals would become on the decline too. Therefore the African penguin Niche is to balance out the Marine Habitat.
