Title: Ancient Giant Penguin Unearthed in New Zealand
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on February 28, 2017, 1701 UTC

The newly-discovered bird waddled the Earth during the Paleocene epoch.

It was about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, making it almost as big as Anthropornis nordenskjoeldi (the largest known fossil penguin, which lived in Antarctica between 45 and 33 million years ago).

Magnificent aren't they?

Wait until Al sees that picture of the bones. He loses it when penguins flip him off.
