Where do penguins grow?

Penguins mainly live in Antarctic continent and Nanling Islands.

With the cold heading north, humans have found penguin's whereabouts in Africa south latitude 17 degrees, Australia south latitude 38 degrees, some Latin American islands near the equator, or around South Africa, the southeast coast of Australia, the west coast of New Zealand and the Ecuador Islands. As long as the temperature is low enough for them to survive, there are still a few penguins in other areas except Antarctica.

There are nearly 20 species of penguins in the world. Antarctica has the most species, including seven species, including emperor penguin, Adelie penguin, emperor penguin, hooded penguin and golden penguin, and the rest are distributed on other islands.

Extended data:

Penguins are about 65 cm long, with black and white feathers, white abdomen, one or two black stripes and thick subcutaneous fat. Wings have fins and feathers are small and scaly. Penguin breeding is carried out in extremely bad weather conditions. Penguin eggs are hatched by male penguins in winter when the temperature is as low as -60℃, and some of them are hatched in shifts. The incubation period is 2 months, from June 10 to February 12.

Penguins are famous for loving their sons in their nests. Sometimes they steal their neighbors' eggs, occupy other penguins' nests and take other chicks away to raise them. Therefore, as "parents", penguins refuse to leave their children for a moment.

Penguins are strong, hardworking and aggressive, which enables them to survive in the harsh natural conditions in Antarctica. Penguins also have natural enemies, and they are skua. Skuas like to wander around penguins, looking for opportunities to get rid of eggs in their nests or kill young penguins. However, the behavior of the skua will always attract penguins to attack and make the skua flee everywhere.

Penguins don't get lost. Scientists captured five adult penguins in the Antarctic, marked them, and then moved them to a strait 1900 km away from the nesting site, and released them. 10 months later, they all returned to their original nesting sites. Penguins don't get lost because they use the sun as a lighthouse.
