All penguins do not need to live in the cold. There are several species of penguins that live in warm weather environments including Magellanics, South African/Black footed, Gallapagos, and Humboldts just to name a few. The ones that do live in the cold happened to adapt to that environmental niche whereas these others have developed life cycles and breeding styles that would not be possible in cold weather environments.

Because that is where their ancestors had adapted to living and evolved to better suite their environment. While polar bears are naturally exclusive to the Arctic Circle, few penguins actually live in the Antarctica. They however do not naturally exist in the northern hemisphere.

No. Penguins are only found in the Southern Hemisphere (South of the Equator) and the vast majority are to be found close to the Antarctic Circle.

There are of course some penguins in zoos which may also have polar bears.

Penguins do not live in the Arctic. They only live in the Southern Hemisphere. Most of them require sea ice in their habitat, which is why most are found in Antarctica.

No penguins live in the Arctic. There are penguins that live in the Antarctic (southern pole).

Penguins have a thick layer of blubber and tightly packed feathers that insulate them from the cold. The cold waters provide an abundance of food for them, such as fish and krill. Additionally, there are fewer predators in the harsh cold environments where penguins inhabit.
