neaq: Today’s geeky penguin facts: Today’s polar penguins are not direct descendants of the many penguin species that lived in Antarctica during the Eocene. Those species are all extinct now.

All we have to fill in the more than thirty million year gap are two bones deposited 10 million years ago on the east side of the continent and found during field work in the region. Learn about the prehistoric penguin relatives that lived in Antarctica—when Antarctica was warm and leafy.
