Ge­o­graphic Range
Py­goscelis papua, or more com­monly known as gen­too pen­guins, are ex­clu­sively found in the South­ern Hemi­sphere be­tween 45 and 65 de­grees south lat­i­tude. Within this range, gen­toos are found on the Antarc­tic Penin­sula as well as many sub-Antarc­tic is­lands. Only about 13% of all gen­too pen­guins live south of the Antarc­tic ice pack.

One of the most pre­dom­i­nant lo­ca­tions gen­toos in­habit is the Falk­land Is­lands in the South At­lantic Ocean. Around 40% of P. papua world­wide are found within this arch­i­pel­ago. (Pis­to­rius, et al., 2010; Quin­tana, 2001)
