Penguins of old were bigger. Per the site KTNF “Palaeeudyptes Klekowskii, an ancient type of penguin whose remains were found on Seymour Island in Antarctica, is thought to have stood well over 6 feet tall and weighed upwards of 250 pounds. One full fossil set they found of the species was even listed at 6 feet, 8 inches and weighing almost 300 pounds.”
I spent most of my adult life at 6′ 3″ and about 250 lbs. Last physical I measured about 6′ tall and ###* lbs. (*Deleted by all social media for inaccuracy). So while I am shrinking at an alarming rate, my weight continues to rise.
I must need to get a new scale.
