No penguins live at the South Pole because it's too far from the sea! Of the 18 species of penguin, only 5 live in Antarctica, and all but the emperor penguin leave Antarctica in the winter. The emperor penguin nests no more than 30 miles inland --- still 1470 miles from the south pole!
Another Answer
Penguins are sea birds and make their homes in the sea where they find food. Four types of penguins breed on Antarctica's beaches, including the Emperor, Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo.
The closest open water to the South Pole is about 750 miles, and the elevation of the South Pole is higher than 9,300 feet.
Antarctica is too cold to support animal life of any kind, and there is no food chain there.
OVER 9000
WHAT 9000 that's impossible
Yes. Arctic Puffins live at the North pole, along sea coasts, islands in the north Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean.
Many people consider that the South Pole is the same as the Antarctic, but in fact the South Pole is just a theoretical point in Antarctica. This question gives answers to what creatures live in the Antarctic region, generally in the surrounding ocean. The Antarctic continent itself is a desert, and no animals live on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain. There are four species of penguins which breed on Antarctica's beaches: Adelie, Emperor, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins. The Antarctic is not their only range. Other birds which breed on the coastal fringes of Antarctica and the islands, visiting Antarctic waters, include various species of albatross, cormorant, fulmar, gull (kelp gull), petrel, sheathbill, skua, and the Arctic tern which migrates from the Arctic to the Antarctic every year. Seals which live in the Southern Ocean which surrounds the continent, include the Southern Elephant seal, Crabeater, Antarctic Fur, Leopard, Ross and Weddell seals. Whales known to frequent the Antarctic waters include the Blue whale, Fin, Humpback, Minke, Orca, Southern Right, Sei and Sperm whales. Fish include the Antarctic cod, Patagonian toothfish and Icefish. Squid also live in the Antarctic waters.
Penguins typically live in colonies that can range in size from a few dozen to thousands of individuals, depending on the species. The largest known colony of penguins is estimated to be over 1.5 million birds in Antarctica.
Well there are over 10000 penguins over in the southern hemisphere
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.
Polar Bears live in the North pole, but penguins don't.Penguins live in the south pole. Not many insects can survive at those temperatures, but there is one tiny insect that can survive at the south pole.
Zero. Penguins do not live at the North pole. They live in the Antarctic.
All species of penguin are native to the Southern Hemisphere. The Galapagos penguin lives in the vicinity of the equator and so, technically, a few miles into the Northern Hemisphere, but no penguins live any farther north than that.

No, polar bears live in the area of the North Pole and many penguins live in Antarctica. All penguins in their natural habitat live below the equator.
Although most people associate penguins with the cold climate of the Antarctic (south pole) they are distributed throughout the southern hemisphere. Along with the Antarctic many species live in Australia, New Zealand, South America, and South Africa. Some species live as close to the equator as the Galápagos Islands.
No. While polar bears do live throughout much of the Arctic, they, like any animal, need to be reasonably close to a food source and the North Pole is much, much too far from their food source (mostly seals) .yes there is polar bears in the north pole
None live at the south pole: these are sea birds who make their homes in ocean waters. All are found in the southern hemisphere and many species are found on the Galapagos Islands. Penguins breed on land, but live in sea water.
No whale groups live at the South Pole. The pole is 9,300 feet above sea level on an ice sheet. Whales survive in oceans.
Yes. there is ice, penguins, polar bears, orcas, seals and many different species of fish
Penguins live in many countries, not just Antarctica. Different types of Penguins, like the Little Penguin, live in New Zealand. Some penguins live in South America, places like Peru, Argentina, Chile and the Galapagos Islands. No penguins live in North America. African Penguins live in Africa, and some Penguins live in Australia.
There are no penguins in the Arctic. They do live in Antarctica, southern Africa and western South America.
