The Galapagos Penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is a remarkable creature! It is the only penguin species found north of the equator. Despite being a penguin, it thrives in the warm waters of the Galapagos Archipelago.
Adaptations
These penguins have adapted uniquely to their environment. For instance, they usually breed during the more abundant seasons when food is plentiful. Their bodies are streamlined, making them excellent swimmers.
