Penguins live on every continent in the Southern Hemisphere, from Australia to Africa. They can be found on the coasts of South America, as well as tiny, rocky islands far out at sea. The northernmost species, the Galápagos penguin, lives near the equator on the Galápagos Islands.
The Fiordland, Snares Island, and yellow-eyed are all native to New Zealand. The little penguin, also known as the fairy penguin, is the smallest of the species and calls the rocky island coasts around Australia and New Zealand home. There are currently over 469,000 individuals, and they are of Least Concern.
However, all known species of penguins live naturally in the southern hemisphere. Contrary to general belief, Penguins do not live only in icy conditions. Some penguin species live in South Africa and Australia.

One answer is, the IUCN classifies them as Endangered, with only 150,000 individuals living in the wild. The Fiordland-crested penguin lives in the temperate rainforests of South Island and Stewart Island of New Zealand. Its current status is Vulnerable, with a population ranging from 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.
