Scientists identified the diminutive birds after finding two of their fossilized skulls

This new species could be the 3 million-year-old ancestors to todays little penguins.

The now-extinct birds, which lived roughly three million years ago, likely used their hooked bills to feast on seal carcasses

Paleontologists have identified 50 million-year-old fossil bones found on a New Zealand beach as the remains of a super-sized early penguin species. These waddling water birds would have likely been about a metre and a half tall and weighed in at 150 kilograms.

A recent study by scientists has unveiled fossilized remains of the world's biggest penguin and it was 8-foot tall!

Senior Lecturer in Zoology and Ecology, Dr Daniel Thomas, is part of an international team describing two new extinct penguin species, with one suggested to be the largest ever discovered at an estimated average weight of 155 kilograms.

A group of international researchers announced the discovery of what may have been the largest penguin ever to have lived.
