Previously, the penguins were as high as men
20 years ago, scientists discovered the remains of the world's tallest penguin. Two new fossil species have been discovered in New Zealand and one of them was more than 150 cm tall. This species, Kairuku grebneffi, lived on Earth 27 million years ago, and he did not like any one of us modern types.
Kairuku grebneffi was slender, tall, with long fins and developed, powerful hindquarters. Although over the past two decades, the remains of penguins have been carefully studied, scientists still wonder what was the reason for their incredible size.
