An international team, including researchers from the University of Cambridge, have reported the discovery of fossil bones from two newly-described penguin species in 57 million-year-old beach boulders in New Zealand. One of them is thought to be the largest penguin to ever live, weighing more than 150 kilograms. It's more than three times the size of the largest living penguins.
