Inkayacu, along with other extinct penguins from Peru, are often referred to as giant penguins because of their large size. Inkayacu was among the largest described fossil penguins, measuring 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) long and weighing about 54.6–59.4 kilograms (120–131 lb), twice as heavy as the average emperor penguin , the largest extant penguin.
Previously, scientists believed that penguins evolved near the poles in Antarctica and New Zealand, and moved closer to the equator around 10 million years ago. Since Icadyptes salasi lived in Peru during a period of great warmth, penguins must have adapted to warm climates around 30 million years earlier than previously believed.
Palaeeudyptinae, the giant penguins, is a paraphyletic subfamily of prehistoric penguins. It includes several genera of medium-sized to very large species, such as Icadyptes salasi , Palaeeudyptes marplesi , Anthropornis nordenskjoeldi , and Pachydyptes ponderosus .

Perudyptes devriesi is a basal penguin from the Middle Eocene (Mustersan, ~42 Ma) Paracas Formation of Peru. This new discovery is able to fill a major phylogenetic and stratigraphic (~20 million year) gap between the earliest fossil penguins (Waimanu manneringi and Muriwaimanu tuatahi, ~58–61.6 Ma) and the next oldest partial skeletons.
Reindeer live in the far northern regions of Europe, North America, and Asia.They enjoy colder climates like tundra and boreal forests. We can find them in northern countries, which include:
Archaeospheniscus is an extinct genus of large penguins.It currently contains three species, known from somewhat fragmentary remains. A. wimani, the smallest species (about the size of a gentoo penguin), was found in Middle or Late Eocene strata (34-50 MYA) of the La Meseta Formation on Seymour Island, Antarctica, whereas the other two, about the size of a modern emperor penguin, are known ...
