Now that's one giant penguin! Paleontologists have discovered gigantic fossilized penguin bones on the coast of New Zealand, according to a study published in the Journal of Paleontology. The penguin species, named Kumimanu fordycei, was found in the Otago Region in New Zealand's South Island. “Many early fossil penguins attained enormous sizes, easily dwarfing the largest penguins alive today. Our new species, Kumimanu fordycei, is the largest fossil penguin ever discovered – at approximately 350 pounds, it would have weighed more than Shaquille O’Neal at the peak of his dominance!” said study co-author Daniel Field, an expert in earth sciences at the University of Cambridge.
