    Where can you find Penguins naturally occurring in the northern hemisphere?

    In supermarkets? :pac:

    Not in zoos, 'cause you said "naturally occurring", so I'll have to think about it a bit more.

    Also, you said "Penguins", not "penguins", and I'm sure it's not accidental... Hmmm.

    Are they a Canadian ice hockey team?

    I have an old habit from eons ago of using a Capital letter for animals. Nothing devious. Penguins, as in the flightless waddling birds we usually associate with Antarctica, but north of the equator.

    Not natural. Someone made those particular Penguins elsewhere and placed then in the bookshop.

    Its the most natural thing in the world to find Penguins in a bookshop!

    I have an idea I know this, and its not a particularly cold place, but I can't recall where I saw something about it.

    I thought it was related to this, but this one is in Brazil, so it's still in the wrong hemisphere.

    This is still brilliant, though. :)

    They straddle the equator and, while the bulk of Galapagos Penguins are on the southern end of an island, they have easy assess to the northern end and are often found there.

    You're up.

    Sure is. Bonus fact is more than 50% of the workforce of the country reside in a different country.

    :) They do hold impressive numbers of Olympic weightlifting medals though. One expects the giant races to be the strongest but it's more the North African/Asian races that hold the strength records. Something to do with a low centre of gravity and strength to weight ratios.

    No, a few countries in South America would make the top four.

    Calm Down! Calm Down!

    The ball's back in play; panic over.

    I will add that the ranking is as of 2014 as I know of no more recent rankings.

    No.

    I'll add Algeria as a close fifth who were often in fourth.
