Best Answer

Eskimos live in the Arctic (North Pole region) and the penguins live in the Antarctic (South Pole region), they are in opposite sides of the Earth.

Eskimos live in or near the Arctic circle in the northern hemisphere. Penguins are found on Antarctica and surrounding islands in the Southern Hemisphere. They are very far apart. This, of course, does not prove Eskimos will not eat penguin, as they could import penguin meat (if it is legal) or travel to Antarctica to eat penguin.

Penguins are indigenous to the Antarctic region and Eskimos are indigenous to the Arctic region. An Eskimo has probably never seen a penguin.

Eskimos don't live where penguins do, so they don't have access to penguin eggs. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere and Eskimos in the Northern.

Can you eat a penguin?

As a matter of fact, one can eat a penguin - but it is ill-advised. Many penguin species are listed as Endangered, so it would be illegal to eat them.However, penguins have certainly been eaten by starving people in the past. In one particular instance, when explorer of Australia Edward Eyre and his aboriginal companion Wylie were struggling along the shore below the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight in 1841, they came upon a dead penguin on the beach. Wylie had reached such a point of starvation that he did indeed eat the penguin - hide and all. Eyre recorded the incident in his journal.
