Fossils of a giant penguin have been found in Peru. Icadyptes salasi, to give the huge bird its name, would have been approximately 1.5m tall (5ft), dwarfing any of its living cousins. The bird also had a long thin beak. As many as 4 other species of penguins were found along with this one in an area which would have been more tropical than arctic!
