Giant Penguins

Those were good times...

That was back when dinosaur sized birds were running around. Of all the animals I'd hate to see "supersized", I'd have to say it's a toss up between Insects and Birds. Insects because they just bother me and Birds because they have such great eyesight and are so quick.

Yeah, but a 5 foot chicken - that's some good eatin'.

For you or the chicken?

It depends on which of us gets up earlier.

I think I would be to frightened to sleep. We still have a metre long earth worm here in Australia that has teeth like Bugs Bunny. Imagine camping out and having one of those visit you through the night.

Hopefully, on land I'd be able to avoid that beak. Now in the water could involve an entirely different story.

I clicked the link expecting to hear something about linux...this is more entertaining anyway.

All i have to say is SCARY!!

Two things scarier: the food they ate, relative size bearing as a factor, a sardine would have been really big, to big to fit in a tin, and the size of the predators that fed on them would have been monstrous in comparison perhaps it is a good thing they went the way of the dodo

"Turns out there were people size penguins running around 30 million years ago....ok, more like waddling around."

Check out the denizens of the Malls. Look closely and you will most likely see some every few minutes.

Big birds weren't a problem for the Maori ;
