Penguins live in the Arctic as well as in the Southern Hemisphere.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that penguins live in the Arctic as well as in the Southern Hemisphere?

No. A Wikipedia article on penguins states outright that no penguins are found in the Arctic, and several other sources confirm penguins are distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The claim that penguins also live in the Arctic is contradicted by the strongest source.
