Nordenskjoeldi's giant penguin (Anthropornis nordenskjoeldi) is a species of megafauna, with evidence suggesting it lived 37-45 million years ago. It's diet mainly consisted of fish and other seafood and it was an aquatic creature, spending the majority of its life in the water. These giant penguins grew up to 1.7 metres in height and 90kg in weight (Abyssal, 2015). It had a bent wing joint, beneficial for flight and powerful propulsion under water when diving for fish.
Gilbert Price, researcher at the University of Queensland supports the natural climate change theory of megafauna extinction, which was not caused by human interaction. Price studied a section of creek bed in the Darling Downs region in Queensland which was 10 metres deep.
