King penguins live on the more temperate islands north of Antarctica. Although their habitat is warmer than that of emperor penguins, king penguins have four layers of feathers and huddle together for warmth.

Contrary to the popular image of penguins as ice-dwellers, jackass penguins live in the temperate climate of southwestern Africa. Their name comes from their loud, braying cry, similar to a donkey's.
