Are there species of penguin that do not live in the Antarctic?

Question

I used to remember them but i forgot, lol.

And how many species of penguins are there and what are they?

Answer 1

there is fairy penguins that live on the east & south coast and Tasmania  :)

Answer 2

There are jackass penguins who live in South Africa, and a species of penguin who live on the Galapogas Islands  - while not all penguins live in the Antarctic all (wild) penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer 3

Hope this helps: Yes and here is fact not fiction!

The penguins habitat is on land and in water. They are found in the southern hemisphere around and in the Atlantic Ocean. Their habitat is severely cold. Their habitat has ice and freezing cold water. They can survive in their habitat because they have a layer of white down feathers that keep their bodies warm. They also have a layer of fat. A penguins habitat is hard for any human being to live in!

The Royal Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus schlegeli) is treated as a subspecies of Macaroni Penguin here, but others accord the Royal penguin full species status.

2) King - subantarctic islands and peninsulas; usually forage in ice-free waters ; mainly over shelf and slope areas. Most juveniles oceanic; observed several hundred kilometers from nearest colony .

3) Chinstrap - circumpolar on Antarctic continent within limits of pack-ice; is restricted to the Antarctic (along with emperor penguins).

4) Adélie - circumpolar in subantarctic and antarctic waters; avoid pack ice and continental coasts, except near the Antarctic peninsula; usually remain near breeding islands throughout year

5) Gentoo - antarctic and subantarctic islands

6) Rockhopper - subantarctic islands

7) Macaroni - subantarctic islands in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans

8) Royal - Macquarie and Campbell Islands; also around the New Zealand coast

9) Fiordland crested - subantarctic islands and New Zealand

17) Galapagos -Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, almost astride the equator; is the most northerly penguin species

Answer 6

Oh I do love penguins. Though I can't be helpful in telling you how many species there are - I'm sure you can locate that info on the Net.

What I CAN tell you is that I worked at a large aquarium for a few years and had the privelege of getting up close and personal with the African Blackfoot penguin.

They are simply adorable - not the smallest species, but one of the smallest. They do have little black webbed feet and they mate for life. They live in weather much like we do ... they can acclimate to temps between 40 and 85 degrees... (or roughly). Anything below that or above that, and they had to be brought indoors where the climate was controlled.

They live along the shores and off the shores of southern Africa.

They're really lovely little creatures ...

I hope you get the rest of your answers. Many people think penguins live only where it's icy cold ... your question will help people realize that isn't the case!

Answer 7

As for the kinds, there is the Emperor, King, Adelie, Chinstrap, Gentoo, Magellanic, Humboldt, the African Penquin (not sure if it lives in Africa) Galapogas of course, Macaroni (lol), Rockhopper, Royal, Erect-Crested, Fiordland,  Snares Island, Yellow-Eyed,   and Little Blue or Fairy. That's 17.
