What country did the penguin originate from?

Penguins do not come from any one specific country. Four of the 17 species of penguins live along the coast of Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. Antarctica is a continent, not a country.

Others are found elsewhere within the Antarctic Circle to temperate regions further north, including New Zealand, the southern regions of Australia, the Falkland Islands, the Galápagos Islands and the Coastlines of South America and southern Africa.
