There are 17 species of penguin and they are native to the Southern Hemisphere. There is only a very small population in the Northern Hemisphere which only reaches the Galapagos Islands and parts of the coastline of Ecuador. The penguins found in the Northern Hemisphere on the Galapagos Islands is less than 10,000. The penguin population is focused on Antarctica, West coastline of South America, South Africa, Southern Australia and New Zealand.

There are just 17 species of penguin worldwide, they all live in the Southern Hemisphere apart from the Galapagos penguin which just about qualifies as living in the Northern Hemisphere as it spans a narrow band at the equator.

In total there are about 64 million penguins. And less than 10,000 of them live in the Northern Hemisphere, which is 0.0156% of the penguin population.
