Answer:-
It is the only penguin found north of the Equator. It survives in Galapagos only because of the cold waters of the Humboldt and Cromwell Currents. Some 90% of Galapagos penguins live on the western islands of Isabela and Fernandina. These birds have special adaptations that help them survive in the warm climate.
