    Wtf that’s so big

    On a related note, I was also surprised during a school trip at how small puffins are

    I think I’m not good at knowing bird sizes

      I had the same thought. I thought kiwis were smaller than pigeons.

      Penguins man. The biggest species can get to a bit over 3ft tall, most common species about 2ft, smallest 1ft adults.

      I’ve seen lots of penguins in my life, and yet I always think if I show up to Antarctica it will be full of people sized penguins.

        Same here! Billy Madison really fucked my perspective on penguin sizes.
