      Hey. My favourite penguin is actually an extinct one, that lived around 36 million years ago during a time called the Eocene. They are called the ‘water kings’ as they reached almost 1.5 meters tall, or around five foot – massive! Living ones, my favourites are the Macaroni penguins as they have a hilarious name and cool hair on their heads. There are around 17 species of penguin living in the Antarctic…neat, eh?
