For some learning Biogeography, we usually learn that most that most species diversity lies in areas where it’s hot and wet most of the year. Yes, tropics. They have moderate temperatures and plenty of sunlight with some areas of large land mass. Also, during ice ages, no glaciation occurs. To iterate (Funny thing, iterate means to repeat so to reiterate is redundant), hot and wet means more diversity. Funny thing however, one type of species shows an opposite pattern - seabirds like penguins. So yes, we can find penguins near the poles of the Earth. That’s not a fun fact. Here’s one Snapple would love to feed you. Only one species of penguin can survive at the equator, the endemic Galapagos Penguin. Picture related, here’s that physiology-defying wizard now.
