Giant penguin fossil discovered
A fossil of a giant penguin from the Paleocene era has recently been discovered in New Zealand. This penguin, an old species named Kumimanu fordycei, weighed about 350 pounds. Scientists say that this fossil, which is 57 million years old, provides new information on the evolution of penguins. The new fossil of the penguin has been published in the Journal of Paleontology. After analyzing the fossil, scientists from the University of Cambridge said that the penguin had a large body size long ago.
Giant penguin fossil discovered
Due to competition with marine mammals, the giant penguin later became extinct. This huge prehistoric penguin species lived on the coastline of the sea of southern New Zealand. This huge penguin, weighing about 350 pounds, was much larger than the modern emperor penguin. Scientists from the University of Cambridge and Te Papa Museum in New Zealand are collecting data on the evolution of this penguin. The penguin species Kumimanu fordycei represents a time when large and large seabirds roamed the earth. Fossils of Kumimanu fordycei have been found on beach rocks off the North Otago coast of New Zealand. A team of scientists led by paleontologists Alan Tennyson and Daniel Field from the University of Cambridge found the fossil. The new species is being called the largest penguin species. It is one of the oldest penguins
