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.
rest impennis
?!
Only pingwings, no penguins.
Wait what? Damn I didn't know that.
So huggable!
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!
Fun fact, they were bald everywhere else.
Megapenguin Grandpa: Kids, did I ever tell you about when the Gigapenguins overthrew the Terapenguins?
I could take him
The girl will still date him over meeting you in the woods.
Of course, he is 6'7 after all.
But her dress is actually blue.
I think he fits in my car. I could take him too.
Dude don't you have a department of health and human services to run?
Megafauna is (are?) dope
I want this as my next album cover.
I bet it tasted so good. Like pork or something
Most seabirds taste like oily fish but with the texture of chicken.
Hot damn, fry that bad boy up and give me some tartar sauce
That sounds perfect tbh. I love fish flavour but mostly don't like the texture.
I was really sad to learn this, penguins look tasty.
the human urge to eat literally anything except plants
Is this the healthy eating lemmy??? Mind your business soyboy
sure buddy. enjoy your diarrhea
Thanks bro enjoy your estrogen
😘
Good that they provided both the Emperor penguin and human penguin for scale.
Wenk wenk wenk!
