Penguins have adapted to that particular ecological niche. By living in an extremely cold and inhospitable environment, they avoid the competition that they would face with the far more numerous species in warmer climates.And the main reason why penguins live usually in Antarctic region is because adaption on a safer habitat with less predator,enemy and lesser competition for survival.

Is it true that Polar bears eat penguins?
No, polar bears live only in the Arctic, and Penguins only live in the Antarctic; they would never ever meet in the wilderness.
Do all penguins live at the South Pole?
No penguins live at the South Pole. Penguins are found in the Antarctic, but not at the South Pole itself. This theoretical point lies too far inland for penguins, or any other animals to venture. Penguins are only found in the southern hemisphere, and are by no means restricted to the Antarctic. Whilst nothing can actually live at the "South Pole", because it is a point too far inland on the Antarctic continent to support life, penguins are one of the most abundant lifeforms found on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands.
Do penguins only live in the Arctic?

No. Fairy Penguins, also known as Little Penguins, live along the coastline of southern Australia and New Zealand. In fact, only four of the 17 species of penguins live along the coast of Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. The rest 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.
Do penguins only live in Antarctica?
No, they don't; some penguin species live as far north as the Galapagos Islands. There are penguins off the coast of Australia, South Africa, South America, New Zealand and the Phillips Island, as well. They do exist mostly in the Antarctic because of continental drift. Antarctic fossils show that it was once situated further north and had a temperate climate. Penguins are descendants of birds from that time.People also think that all penguin species live only in Antarctica but that's just a penguin myth.Not all penguins live in Antarctica some live in Australia and New Zealand. They also live in the Galapagos Island.Another AnswerNo penguin lives in Antarctica, or on any land. Penguins are sea birds that only breed on land, and a few types breed on Antarctica's beaches. You can find penguin breeding grounds on New Zealand, Australia, South America and South Africa -- as well as on the Antarctic continent. All penguins 'live' at sea.

Otherwise penguins make their lives in the oceans; they do not 'live' on the Antarctic continent.
