So huggable!
Good that they provided both the Emperor penguin and human penguin for scale.
Wenk wenk wenk!
Based on that description, that dude on the left is a tall fella.
1m90ish is 7cm taller than the average Dutch male.
Including large boots, hat, and hood. And also fairly tall.

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.

I was planning to, but work has been hell today. I’ve barely had any time to shitpost.
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?
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.
Jesus, who says 'sud-Oh'?
And who says "sue-dew"???
Palaeeudyptes klekowskii

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.
