There are No Penguins that Live in the Northern Hemisphere
Penguins only live in the wild in the Southern Hemisphere. The only penguins that ever enter the Northern Hemisphere are penguins living near the Galapagos Islands who may travel north to feed. When penguins were first discovered, they were mistakenly thought to be auks. Auks are northern birds that share some similarities in appearance with penguins. However, they are completely separate animals.
