recap: Giant Penguin Fossil found in Peru

August 18, 2008 Jen

Just when you might have thought penguins were great right now… apparently they’ve been great for hundreds of thousands… er, millions of years. Thank goodness for that!

A giant penguin fossil was found. This lead to all kinds of great discoveres and insights… where did penguins originally live and what weather did they thrive in?

You can read of this penguin fossil story at the Sydney Morning Herald.

I looks somewhat like a combination of a penguin and a pelican… what do you think?

Thanks for the reminder of thisĀ  penguin news from Magni about this story. The story was originally published mid-June 2008, but after reading Magni’s post I realized I said nothing and should share the big beaked fun.
