A penguin is an aquatic hunter usually in Antarctic waters. This is a broad description of the niche of a 'generic' penguin.

You can add details as you wish. You could define which species of penguin whose niche you are describing, the types of fish they hunt, that they are amphibious, that they are prey for leopard seals, etc.
