What is the range of a emperor penguin?
Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) are found almost exclusively in Antarctica and the subantarctic islands. Their breeding grounds are located on the coast of the Antarctic continent and nearby islands, including the Ross Sea, Weddell Sea, and Queen Maud Land. During the non-breeding season, emperor penguins disperse throughout the Southern Ocean, ranging as far north as South Africa, New Zealand, and South America. The species is known for its extraordinary ability to withstand extreme cold and harsh environmental conditions, adapting to life on ice and in freezing waters.
