It's almost as tall as me. If these were still around I would want to run up and hug it. (Though the larger beaky area kinda freaks me out just a tad.)

You'd want to hug it? Did you see the terror on the face of that little Humboldt penguin?

I would want to hug it. It would be a huge waddling penguin!

If it were around today, what would we call it? What with it being bigger than the king and emperor species, what would be next in that progression? The Pope Penguin? The Demigod Penguin?

Aww, Giant Penguin should not menace the little penguins. He should play nice.

Thank you for the link EJ!

"Pope Penguin" made me laugh entirely too hard.

Dang. I was hoping it was a live penguin.

They can put this in the Creation Museum as the bird that played Caveman Harry Belafonte records for us.

Jeez. That's a specklet-sized penguin!

Wouldn't that be the "Absolute Dictator of the Entire World" Penguin?
