Is it true that penguins can live in warm climates, including near the equator in the Galapagos Islands?

Yes. Two reference sources state directly that Galapagos penguins live at the Equator in a hot, tropical environment, and a Smithsonian overview notes Humboldt penguins are native to a hot desert climate. Several other items confirm Galapagos penguins exist in the archipelago but address disease or El Nino impacts rather than warm-climate tolerance.
