The climate in the Arctic and the Antarctic is equally cold and icy, so why are there no penguins in the Arctic? In fact, the "Arctic great penguin" survived in the Arctic a long time ago, only now it is extinct.
The Great Arctic Penguin "is 60 cm tall, has a brown head and black feathers on its back, and is gentlemanly. They once lived in millions of people in Scandinavia, the current regions of Canada and northern Russia, and on all Arctic and subarctic islands.
About 1,000 years ago, the Vikings spotted the great penguins. From then on, the great penguin's doom came. Especially after the 16th century, the Arctic exploration boom, and the great penguins became the object of competition among explorers, navigators and indigenous people.
Prolonged hunting led to the extinction of the Arctic great penguin.
The ancestors of penguins living in the Antarctic region today developed south of the equator. Scientists speculate that the reason why they don't continue their journey north to the Northern Hemisphere may be that penguins can't tolerate the warm waters of the tropics. Their range is very consistent with the northernmost range and the average annual temperature of 20 regions.
Warm equatorial currents and higher temperatures form a natural barrier that prevents penguins from crossing the equator to the north. They can only live in the seas where water from melting Antarctic snow or colder currents from the deep sea pass through.

Now many people think that there are no penguins in the Arctic, but in fact, there have been penguins in the Arctic, but the penguins in the Arctic are different from the penguins in the Antarctic, they are much larger than the penguins in the Antarctic, and I forgot how long the extinction time was, but one thing is very ironic, when the major museums at that time learned that this species was facing extinction, they did not make a request for help, but instead opened a ** to purchase specimens, thus accelerating the speed of extinction

If there is hunger in the Arctic, why do you want to do it in Antarctica?
-
Because penguins are in Antarctica.
Remember to adopt it.

There are no countries in the Arctic.
The Arctic region is the Arctic Ocean, and the Eurasian continent and the North American continent surround the Arctic Ocean, of which there are a total of 8 circumpolar countries, namely Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Russia and the United States.
The main seas are the Greenland Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea and the White Sea. The famous Arctic magnetic is at 102°54 west longitude and 78°12 north latitude.

Boss....Polar bears in the Arctic...Penguins in Antarctica....How do you get it?
-
Because polar bears are in the Arctic, penguins are in Antarctica.
-
Because penguins are in Antarctica. Of course, you can't eat it in the Arctic wild.

The term Arctic is also commonly referred to as the Arctic region. The Arctic region usually refers to the area north of the Arctic Circle, including most of the waters of the Arctic Ocean, islands, Europe, Asia and the northern continent of North America, with a total area of 21 million square kilometers, of which the land area is about 8 million square kilometers. There are also people who divide the Arctic region from the climate, with the isotherm of the hottest month of 10 degrees (the ocean isotherm of 5 degrees) as the southern boundary of the Arctic region, its total area is about 2,700 square kilometers, of which the land area is about 1,200 square kilometers.
In some cases, the Arctic region is classified on the basis of the area where the Arctic air mass is dominant throughout the year, so that the southern part of Greenland and the southern part of the Norwegian and Greenland Seas, which have a total area of 23 million 24 million square kilometres.
Probably the people who have the most to deal with snow and ice in the world are the Inuit (Eskimos). They live in the cold Arctic regions, which are unbearable for other peoples, and live a life of fishing and hunting. Most Inuit live near the sea and specialize in hunting marine mammals, especially a variety of seals, whales and walruses, and sometimes polar bears as far as they are permitted.
The Inuit people of some inland areas in Alaska and northern Canada in the United States depend exclusively on reindeer hunting for their livelihood, but the most characteristic Eskimo villages are located along the coast of the Arctic Ocean, between 60 and 70 degrees north latitude. The northernmost part of the Inuit is found in northwestern Greenland and is called the polar Eskimos, who live north of 79 degrees north latitude.

The long-term inhabitants of the Arctic are mainly Inuit and Lapu. The Arctic region is north of the Arctic Circle.

Why hasn't anyone been able to live in the Arctic yet?

It is the natural resources of the Arctic Bai region
Sources are extremely abundant, including non-renewable.
Mineral resources, renewable biotech sources, and constant resources such as water and wind power. If we define resources in a broad sense, we should also include military resources, scientific resources, human resources, tourism resources, and so on. When it comes to the significance of the Arctic resource species for modern society, the most important and direct is of course the oil and gas resources in the energy source.
According to conservative estimates, the region has 100,200 billion barrels of potentially recoverable oil and 50,800 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. When the rest of the world's oil and gas resources are depleted, the Arctic will become humanity's last energy base. The Arctic is not only rich in coal resources, but also of high quality.

The Arctic - a treasure trove of resources.
The unique landscape and culture of the Arctic region are blended together, forming a magical "tourism resource" and "exploration" in this region.
risk-tolerant resources"; The opening of the Northeast and Northwest routes of the Arctic Ocean, as well as the existing air routes, belong to the category of "transportation resources"; The important contribution of the Arctic region to the study of solar-terrestrial physics, environment, biology and other disciplines has made the Arctic a natural laboratory at the top of the earth, which should be called a "scientific resource"; As one of the two major cold sources of the earth (the other is the South Pole), the Arctic is responsible for the global warming process, so it is an "environmental resource" for global environmental change. The special cultural background of the Arctic region has formed one of the treasures of the world's cultural treasure house, "cultural resources"; Biological populations and ecosystems (including terrestrial and marine ecosystems) formed in the Arctic region are an important part of our planet's gene pool and an important member of global biodiversity. From the perspective of protecting global biodiversity and the global environment, Arctic races and species can be classified as "genetic resources". These are generalized resources.
In addition to the above, this includes what people commonly refer to as updatable and non-updatable resources. Renewable resources mainly include: water resources, biological resources, land resources, solar energy, wind energy, hydropower resources, etc.
Non-renewable resources mainly include oil, natural gas, coal, metallic and non-metallic minerals. These are resources in the narrow sense.

The South and North Poles are located at opposite ends of the globe and are places with very cold climates and snow and ice all year round. The climate and environmental conditions seem to be very similar, but why is it that penguins live in Antarctica, while the Arctic does not?
To clarify this issue, we need to start from both historical and practical aspects.
Penguins, as we call them, are a large group of birds in the animal taxonomy, they cannot fly, they are adapted to life in the water, and they are all distributed in the southern hemisphere. Scientists believe that penguins evolved 100 million years ago from a species of flying bird that lived in the area of present-day New Zealand. At that time, New Zealand was not as far away from the Antarctic as it is now, so some penguins spread to the Antarctic, forming the common species of Antarctic penguins today.
From a practical point of view, although the environment of Antarctica and North A is similar, the ecological conditions are not the same. Antarctica is a separate continent surrounded by a wide ocean. The climate is cold, with only a few primitive insects and bryophytes growing, so there is a lack of large herbivores, let alone carnivores like polar bears.
Penguins can therefore get enough food in the surrounding seas.
Being far from the mainland also prevents penguins' natural predators from migrating to Antarctica, thus providing penguins with a unique environment to grow and inhabit. Therefore, even if we ignore historical factors and artificially transport penguins to the Arctic, it will be difficult for them to inhabit and reproduce in the Arctic for a long time.

There are no penguins in the Arctic. Lives mainly in the Southern Hemisphere.
There are seven species of Antarctic penguins:
Emperor penguins. Adélie penguins.
Jintu penguins (a.k.a. Gentoo penguins).
Hatband penguins (a.k.a. Antarctic penguins).
King Penguin (a.k.a. King Penguin).
Rocky penguins. Flashy penguins.
Penguin: Yes"Ocean Boat"Penguins, as they are known, are the oldest migratory birds, and they probably settled in Antarctica before the Earth put on ice armor.
There are 18 species of penguins in the world, most of which are found in the Southern Hemisphere.
It lives mainly in the Southern Hemisphere and belongs to the order Penguin, the penguin family.
Morphological characteristics: Penguins are typical seabirds and cannot fly.
The feet are born in the lowest part of the body, so they are in an upright position.
Webbed between the toes. Plantar (other birds land on their toes).
The forelimbs are fin-like and have short feathers to reduce friction and turbulence; A layer of air is retained between the feathers to keep them warm.
The back is black and the belly is white.
The main differences between species are the color of the head and the size of the individual.
Habitat: Penguins can live and breed in the freezing cold of -60.
On land, it lives like a Western gentleman in a tuxedo, walking, swaying, encountering danger, falling and climbing, embarrassed.
But in the water, the penguin's short wings become a powerful pair"Paddle", swimming speeds of up to 25-30 kilometers per hour. You can travel 160 kilometers in one day.
Habits: Mainly feed on krill, squid, and small fish.
Penguin's temperament: honest, generous, and very cute.

In fact, penguins once existed in the Arctic, but they became extinct. Now penguins live in Antarctica because penguins need to be on land for reproduction, and the Arctic has no land and penguins cannot reproduce.
-
Penguins were found in the Arctic in the 17th century, and some European sailors found black and white, huge species that were not afraid of humans. The penguins' feathers can be made into clothes to keep them out of the cold, and the fat on their bodies can be used as fuel for ignition, so many crew members on the island have murderous intentions towards Arctic penguins. As a result, many Arctic penguins were killed until they became extinct in the Arctic.

Why do penguins only have them in the South Pole and not in the North Pole? I finally found out today!
-
I don't know if you have noticed, although the south pole and the north pole of the earth are symmetrical in latitude, and they are both cold all year round, and they are in darkness for half the year, and the conditions are very similar at first glance, but there are penguins living in the Antarctic region, but there are no penguins in the Arctic region; In turn, there are carnivorous polar bears living in the Arctic, but there are no "Antarctic bears" in the Antarctic region. Can you tell you why?
Proz, a biologist at the Polar and Oceanographic Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, told the German newspaper Rheinische Post about the mystery. Protz said the Antarctic and the North Pole are not geographically identical. Antarctica is a continent covered with thick ice, surrounded by a wide ocean, far from the mainland, with only a few small archipelagos around.
This geography prevents animals from migrating to the Antarctic land, and the harsh climate there can only allow some primitive insects to live and some bryophytes to grow, so that there are no large plants on the Antarctic land, and therefore no large herbivores, and without the latter, there are no carnivores like polar bears.
So, why do penguins live in Antarctica? It turns out that beneath the warmer waters in this area is a stream of cold water flowing northward. This not only changes the temperature of the seawater, but also the composition of the seawater, so that the penguins can get enough food here.
Biologists believe that penguins evolved from a flying bird 100 million years ago, and that a flightless bird used to live in the Arctic, but it became extinct in 1850 due to overkill. Among the local Aborigines, they are known as the "Northern Penguins".

Because the North Pole is changing all the time, 50,000,000 years ago, Hebei was also the North Pole.
-
Because the penguins haven't gone to play with polar bears yet. Ha ha.
-
Because there are polar bears....Antarctica was originally connected to Eurasia, and penguins couldn't fly to the Arctic, so there were no penguins in the Arctic.
No, if you have it, it's called an Antarctic bear!
You have to ask yourself about this.

Although polar bears do not eat ice but need to find ice to rest when foraging, if there is no or can not find the right ice, then polar bears have to keep floating in the sea, although no natural predators can pose a threat to life, but the consequences of polar bears just keep floating is exhaustion and death, so picking up garbage cans is one of the best ways for them to stay alive. >>>More
