Detecting high penguins like ... people

This is a giant red penguin species with a height of over 1.5m. However, this is just the fossil found and scientists claim, this giant red penguin was buried underground 36 million years ago.

This giant red penguin is over 1.5m tall and has an 18cm long beak.

The giant penguin prehistoric buried underground 36 million years ago has been dug up by fossil hunters. And scientists call this bird up to 1.5 m tall as ' King of Water ' because it is twice as big as today's penguin. In particular, this prehistoric penguin also has red and brown feathers.

Fossils have been found.

Unlike the later descendants, this giant red penguin doesn't fly and they live in the tropics - where they can dive deep into the warm sea and use a 18cm-long beak that looks like a label to catch fish.

This ' water king ' was first discovered by a Peruvian student in the Paracas reserve on the western coast of Peru. Later archaeologists came to excavate.

This giant red penguin species is called the "king of the country".

When the archaeological team saw a soft tissue of a discarded leg, they gave this giant red penguin the name Pedro - the name of a character that was " sloppy " in a series of plays. The drama premieres on Colombian television. This penguin species was determined to live around the middle of the dinosaur period.

Dr. Dan Ksepka, of the University of North Carolina State, said: ' We have restored the wing feathers as well as the feathers around the bird's body - the kind of feathers that penguins today use to protect protect their bodies from being soaked in water and keep their body temperature. The hairs are limited in size, they don't look much bigger than the penguin's feathers today. In fact, some small penguins today have longer hairs . '

Scientists have studied the color of this giant penguin by finding their fossilized feathers.
