Actually could have talked to Dr Daniel Thomas for hours about this.... totally fascinating. Have a listen

🔊Listen now! Why are penguins so cool? 🐧 @cconcannonsci talks penguin evolution, giant extinct penguins species, & Aotearoa's penguin fossils with @NZfauna rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

Coming up: PENGUINS 🐧🐧🐧 @cconcannonsci speaks to @NZfauna about why penguins are so cool, and why Aotearoa is a great place to study these birds (giant penguin fossils, anyone??) Episode dropping Thursday morning. 🎨: giant extinct penguin Kairuku waewaeroa by @GiovaFavazzi
