An international team of researchers has found the fossilized remains of the largest-known penguin on Earth. The newfound species is thought to have weighed about 340 pounds (154 kg). This is over three times heavier than the largest living species, the emperor penguin. The record previously belonged to a 256-pound (116 kg) penguin that lived in Antarctica about 37 million years ago.

      It's scary to think that there used to be a penguin walking around that weighed 3 times my weight! And the second heaviest weighs as much as me!!

          That’s a big penguin! Jesus! If that was roaming around today, I would fear it. Plus, since it’s that big it looks like it could crush you
