History’s Tallest Penguins?

An extinct penguin that lived in New Zealand 27 million years ago may have been the tallest ever.

At 1.3 metres in height, Kairuku grebneffi would have looked down on today’s 1-metre-tall emperor penguin. It has a rival for the tallest penguin crown, though, as a few fossil bones of a penguin that may have been slightly taller were found in Peru in 2007.
