Galapagos penguins are believed to have evolved from a common ancestor shared with other penguin species, migrating from the Antarctic region. They adapted to the warmer climate of the Galápagos Islands, which lie near the equator, allowing them to thrive in this unique environment. Genetic studies suggest that their divergence from other species likely occurred several million years ago, leading to their distinct characteristics and behaviors. Today, they are the only penguin species that lives north of the equator.
