Habitat

Not all penguins live in cold climates, but most do. For example, some penguins live in zoos such as the Tulsa Zoo, and a lot of penguin species live in New Zealand, such as the yellow- eyed penguin which is suffering from habitat loss. Yellow-eyed penguins are forest nesting birds, usually nesting in a private site or a bank, tree or log. Although they nest in loose colonies, yellow- eyed penguins do not nest within sight of each other.
