The northern hemisphere counterpart would be the Auk. Auks are from a completely different evolutionary family than penguins. Auks can fly but look and act a lot like penguins. Penguins and auks are a good example of evolutionary convergence.

Why won't a starving eskimo eat a penguin egg?

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.
