There were giants in the earth in those days;
Genesis 6:4
"Modern day's largest penguin, the emperor penguins of Antarctica, stand about 4-foot-5 and weigh a little more than 100 pounds, when fully grown.
But years ago, there was a penguin species almost 50 percent bigger than today's emperor penguins — bigger than the average man is today.
And scientists have recently discovered a fossil of the colossus penguin, which gives them new insights into just how big they must have been.
the colossus stretched nearly 6-feet 8-inches from toes to beak — and registered a little under 6-foot as they normally stood. They giants would have weighed more than 250 pounds. All that size would have had a major advantage, too. They could have swam under water for as much as 40 minutes.
The bones were found at the La Meseta formation, Seymour Island, which is part of the Antarctic peninsula with a wide range and abundance of penguin bones. In prehistoric times, the region was warmer with 10 to 14 different penguin species living together."
