Today, we think of penguins as small-ish, waddling, tuxedo-birds. But they evolved from a flying ancestor, were actual giants for millions of years, and some of them were even dressed a little more casually.

Thank you to these paleoartists for allowing us to use their wonderful penguin illustrations:
