There are skeletons of Spheniscus urbinai that are a bit smaller than Aptenodytes patagonicus. We are less certain about Spheniscus megaramphus, but the skull of the that species is bigger than the skull of Spheniscus urbinai, so it might have edged up close to Apternoytes forsteri. We need a complete skeleton to be sure though.

Has there been post-cranial material of Spheniscus megaramphus found to indicate its size? Would it have been larger than Aptenodytes forsteri?

I saw a movie at the zoo where an eagle was swimming in the water! A pengium is even better at swimming, so a penguin with an eagle beak could catch a lot of fish!!!!
