It’s all about the food supply. The location of penguins is always near a drift that carries a good source of food. They are not found north of the equator. the Galapagos Penguin comes very close like in 6 degrees!

Well the climate at the north pole is slightly different from the south.And it depends if they are warm blooded or cold. Cold Blooded animals live in hot climate and hot blood animals live in the cold climate. I’m not saying it’s as hot as the equator no way! But that is an example.

Penguins evolved in the south and need rich waters. The tropics are a barrier for them and the north has ecological equilivants to penguins in puffins and other alcids. Polar bears likewise can´t cross the tropics, so they are limited to the north. I´m in Argentina so hard to answer these.
