Argentine paleontologists from the Natural Sciences Museum of La Plata province have discovered fossils of giant 2-metre tall penguins that lived in Antarctica 34 million years ago. It is the largest penguin discovered to date in terms of height and body mass.

Two new species of "giant" fossil penguin from New Zealand - Kairuku grebneffi and Kairuku waitaki - shed important new light on the biology of early penguins.

Everything was bigger back in the day. Big Wombats. Big everything. Sometimes I think it might be cool if everything was big again, but I know we'd just harvest all the giant animals for their meat.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

I came for picture sir.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

That's just yo.

We would if there was a profit to be turned. The bigger it is, the harder we hunt it.
