Giant Fossil Penguin Found in New Zealand

A group of New Zealand school children have found the remains of what is believed to be a 40 million-year-old giant penguin. The remains were found last month near Kawhia, on the west coast of the North Island, by children looking for fossils for a nearby natural history museum. Bones from the largest ancient giant penguin, found in New Zealand more than 130 years ago, indicate the bird stood about 1.5 metres tall and weighed more than 100 kilograms
