The penguins we know today are not actual penguins. They are named after the real penguins which were prevalent in the northern hemisphere but which humans drove to extinction.

Yeah, not sure why Encyclopedia Britannica would not just omit the correct picture but also put in a link to another article for a completely different bird!
