(Springer) Together with colleagues from New Zealand, Senckenberg scientist Dr. Gerald Mayr described a recently discovered fossil of a giant penguin with a body length of around 150 centimeters. The new find dates back to the Paleocene era and counts among the oldest penguin fossils in the world. In their study, published in the Springer journal The Science of Nature, the team of scientists postulates that the evolution of penguins started much earlier than previously thought.
