Some paleontologists in Peru recently discovered a 36 million year-old penguin fossil! This guy is a HUGE! About twice the size of an emperor penguin! Woah!
P.S. This artist's rendition is not the species that was just recently discovered, however, it's about the same size, so I thought I'd show it to you anyway.
Also, unlike modern-day penguins, these guys don't wear the typical penguin tuxedo. Instead, they have brown bellies and gray tops. I like the new wardrobe selection.
Check out the full article here at the NY Times! AND there's this cool video from NatGeo:
