Good that they provided both the Emperor penguin and human penguin for scale.

Based on that description, that dude on the left is a tall fella.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

1m90ish is 7cm taller than the average Dutch male.

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

Another one for you. there are no extant true penguins. What we see now are covergently evolved flightless birds. True penguins went extinct.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_auk

The great auk (Pinguinus impennis), also known as the penguin or garefowl, is an extinct species of flightless alcid that first appeared around 400,000 years ago and became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It was not closely related to the penguins of the Southern Hemisphere, which were named for their resemblance to this species.

I was planning to, but work has been hell today. I’ve barely had any time to shitpost.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Well now I want to talk to you about an extinct species of hairy-ass elephants. And they had hair all over, not just on their ass!

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Fun fact, they were bald everywhere else.

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ok but was it a true penguin, or a false penguin like all the extant species today?

All modern penguins are pseudo-penguins.

Penguins are the Linux mascot.

sudo sounds like "pseudo" (unless you are one of those people who pronounces it Sue-dew or sud-Oh, in which case, I don't like you).

Sudo penguin. Heh.
