Galápagos Penguins are the only penguins known to survive North of the Equator. They are of the same family as those found in South America and Africa along their southern coasts. Spending most of their time in the cooler waters and currents, it is always a special treat to be able to see one floating along the water's surface, or even more excitingly, hopping around the islands' rocky shore line. Though this species is considerably small, the third smallest in the world, it is still quite fast and agile, given the high volume of predators they must face on and around the islands.
