Giant penguins, as tall as people, lived in New Zealand millions of years ago
Scientists have discovered the fossil remains of an ancient giant penguin with a body length of about 5.8 feet that roamed the waters off New Zealand soon after the dinosaurs' demise.
Kumimanu biceae, newly described in the journal Nature Communications, is one of the oldest penguin species found yet - and it adds a surprising twist to what researchers thought they knew about penguin evolution.
The K. biceae bones were discovered on a beach in New Zealand
