There are penguins in Africa, which belong to genus Spheniscus. However, Antarctic species would suffer from excess heating (they have very insulated bodies) and probably die. \nThe African jackass penguin (Spheniscus demersus) is a small species. In fact, all continental penguins that live in South America, Australia, and even the Galapagos islands are small (smaller size helps to better dissipate excess heat). \nCheck penguin species by geographical area here:\nhttp://www.penguins.cl/penguins-region.htm

There are several species of penguins that live on islands near Antarctica.  They might be able to adapt to similar islands or mainland habitats in the north.  The species that live on the Antarctic continent would have a harder time since there is no habitat that is like that.  They depend on the fact that there are no land predators on Antarctica attacking them while they breed.\n\nThe mainlands of the north have all sorts of predators that would disrupt the penguin breeding cycle. The Arctic ice pack is too unstable to substitute for the land and ice shelves of Antarctica.\n\nBesides if polar bears do become extinct it will probably be because of the loss of sea ice which they live on while hunting seals.

Absolutely! I already have three of them! :D My hubby brought them home for me because he knows how much I love penguins. He got a very big kiss for that :)

It's possible. We don't know it and probably can't prove it anytime soon. Go see my answer to these questions, as it is very similar to your question. (they're rather long)\n\nPS Penguins!!!

None.  Polar bears, North Pole.  Penguins, South Pole.  Kind of a long swim there just for a bite of penguin, donchya think ;-) ?

Basically it works just the same as in other birds. It's a closed system, with a 4-chambered heart, and very efficient pulmonary circulation.\nIn addition, penguins have a special configuration of their blood vessels called _countercurrent_, in which the arteries (with oxygenated blood, extending toward the body surface) and the veins (with deoxygenated blood, going toward the body core) run close to each other, so that the heat from the body passes from the arteries to the veins before reaching the body surface. Thus, this heat is conserved instead of being lost at the body surface.\nThese structures are not found randomly throughout the penguin's body, but especially at their feet, where they represent adaptations for life upon frozen ground. \n\nEmperor penguins  in particular also have adaptations that allow them to dive to great depths.

They did find a creature recently, in Indonesia though. Don't know anything about one in Brazil.\n\nhttp://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?p=creature+indonesia&c=

Lesser penguins do, Mom, but Emperor Penguins don't.  They lost them over the billennia thru evolution, not ever having to kneel down to anyone.

woW, you are too funny! (read some of ur answers) love the little yoda pic! well, with bush so head strong about keeping them (reminds me of my child, he is always bringing in strays and not wanting to let them go once we find a home for them) i think we'll ,sadly, most likely wind up keeping some. I hope less than half though.

Talking penguins, you can figure out the rest, can't you?

Yes lots.  It depends where you are in Africa, where you will find them.  In some parts of Africa you will find them in a zoo, in other parts a game park, or in the wild.  Hopefully they won't find you first!

No they don't.  You can go watch the March of the Penguins.  It talks about how they have to starve in the bitter cold protecting their eggs.  They don't actually starve. If they get too hungry they leave the egg.  It's really good.

Go to the country in Africa called Cloud Cuckoo Land!

If its mano-a-mano (well animal on animal), it would depend who was on their home turf, as the scorpion would freeze or the emperor penguin die from the heat!

Penguins cannot be eaten by Polar Bears, as these birds are endemic to the antarctic and Polar bears are only found in the artic (South and North poles, respectively).\n\nWhen a penguin  does die though, they do decompose, but at a bit slower rate than they would in a warmer climate. Other scavenging animals can also feed on the penguin carrion as well.

Don't be silly, that'd just be cruel... the UK is just way too cold for possums. But why don't you go to Australia and live there, and then everyone is happy.
