Beberapa penguin akan setinggi (atau bahkan lebih tinggi) dari penguin dewasa saat ini.
Some penguins would have been as tall (or even taller) than adults today.
Archaehierax sylvestris, whose remains have been unearthed in the arid South Australian outback, was the apex predator in a lush prehistoric forest filled with marsupials and waterfowl.
This newly discovered species is the oldest one known to resemble today’s penguins in both size and leg proportions, unlike its giant co-habitants at the time.
