At present, there are about 18 species of penguins in nature, mainly living in Antarctica. People can't help but ask, why can't we see the lovely figure of penguins in the Arctic with the same cold climate and snow cover?

In fact, a penguin lived in the North Pole a long time ago, but now it is extinct. Known as the "Arctic Giant Penguin", this penguin is 60 cm tall, with a brown head and black feathers on its back, much like a foreign gentleman in an evening dress. They live in what is now Scandinavia, Canada and northern Russia, as well as all the Arctic and subarctic islands. At the peak, the number reached several million.

About 1000 years ago, the vikings discovered giant penguins. From then on, the bad luck of the big penguin came. Especially after the16th century, the arctic exploration fever rose, and giant penguins became the hunting targets of explorers, navigators and aborigines. Long-term hunting and indiscriminate killing led to the complete extinction of Arctic penguins.
