“The Galapagos penguin is located farther north than any other penguin species in the world.“ Penguins likely evolved around the Antarctic-New Zealand region some 30 to 40 million years ago, when both landmasses were practically connected with each other. One group of penguins later split off from the others and traveled north, giving rise to the so-called banded penguins.”
