Do Penguins Live With Polar Bears?

Penguins are those funny little flightless birds that waddle around on land and in the snow and swim like torpedoes in the water. Some people don’t realize that penguins don’t live at the North Pole. However, some commercials and movies will lie to you and show polar bears and penguins alongside each other. This is false.

Polar bears live at the North Pole and penguins live as far north as the Galapagos Islands which are adjacent to the mainland of Ecuador in South America. It stands to reason that polar bears and penguins never meet. I know what your are thinking, but zoos don’t count.
