Penguins do not live on the Antarctic continent, although several types do visit its beaches to breed. They breed there because there are no land predators, except other breeding sea birds, such as skuas. At sea, which is the home to all penguins, they are simply part of that food chain.

∙ 9y agoNo penguin 'live' on the Antarctic continent; they are sea birds and 'live' most of their lives at sea. During breeding season, however, several types of penguins come to Antarctica's beaches to breed.
Antarctic beaches are safe for penguins' breeding habits, because there are relatively few predators there. Penguin chicks are sometimes taken by other birds -- Skuas, for example -- as food for the Skua chicks. The primary predators are sea mammals, such as seals and whales.
