- Today, penguins are found mainly in the Southern Hemisphere. But fossils have revealed giant lookalikes to these swimming birds further up north, spurring questions of how they evolved and what happened to them.

If it looks like a penguin, swims like a penguin, and waddles like a penguin, then it probably is a duck.
Your statement is all wet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Walks like penguin Taste like people peengguin people penguin people🐧

Did we just get duckrolled?

dumb quote, meteor strikes the world, now yall can't change into super animal
@@truthboom It happened tho…
Admit it, Kowalski analyzed all of this for you didn't he?
🤫
I love this.... I wonder how many people got this reference.....
👍Penguins are flightless birds. - While other birds have wings for flying, penguins have adapted flippers to help them swim in the water. - Most penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere. - The Galapagos Penguin is the only penguin species that ventures north of the equator in the wild.
the galapagos are the most weird and diverse islands i swear
1:05 - Yikes! Imagine a bird like that walking past you like "sup'?" 😲
I thought this was going to be about the Great Auk
Me too. Wasn't disappointed, as these guys were fascinating too. But now I need to look up a video on Auks :)
@@Squirrely456 This one at least didn't make me sad
It is interesting that northern waters had _two_ types of swimming birds. One in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic.
The Great Auk's ex says he's just so so.
Same here
were they actually related to cormorants or was it just artistic interpretation? the drawings of their heads look far more like cormorants than gannets.
Gannets are related to cormorants, and plotopterids are related to both of them.They all belong to the order Suliformes.
Now i am thinking of the story At the Mountains of Madness
Weren't there giant penguins in some sort of hidden place/cave in the mountains?
Fun fact: The Great Auk was called Pinguin with an "i", which is where Penguins were named from
They lasted up into the 1800s
so Cumberbatch was right, it was "ping wing". ^_^
I am a penguin trapped in a human body. Thanks for this episode!!
Those plotopterid whatchamacallits look a lot like Shags.
I wonder if they went extinct looking for their pal, Foot Foot.
In french Penguins live only in the Northern hemisplere ( only one specie left)
There as the southern penguins are called 'manchot ' Two different species which have been mixed up in english because they look alike .
I think killer whales would also find a giant penguin to be a nice snack. So double whammy, not only do the orcas compete for the same food, but if the penguins object, they are on the menu too!
Though that would probably even be more the case for the little ones, who somehow managed to stick around. Though I guess they're small enough that the predators might go after something meatier instead.
Plotopterid looks just like a Cormorant. I see them all the time
Penguins: A study of laminar flow.
If buy it.
We now need auk video. Please make it happen!
When scuba diving off the California coast, I've seen shorebirds (cormorant, loon ?) chasing fish 60ft below the surface, "flying" (swimming) horizontally, in pursuit of their prey. So, its common for non-penguin birds to use their wings, also to swim. And they were moving pretty quickly ! I also have ducks (20 right now), and they often dive and swim submerged. When they do, they also use their wings primarily (when submerged).
that's some fascinating meta.
Me running out of area 51 with northern penguins:
Is that a Giant Penguin in your pocket or are you just happy to be in the The Northern Hemisphere?
But killer whales and seals live in the Antartica too, how then penguins still survive to this day if the theory of Plotopterid extinction was true?
They DO FLY, just thru a different "fluid".
Go go Sci Show
The guy talking looks like a penguin, once you see it you can't unsee it
Hello! Thank you for the episode. An idea! Maybe do an episode regarding animals and plants going extinct that it does NOT have anything, or much to do with human intervention, since the time of humans intervening.. So not so much to do with loss of habitat due to human habitation and logging, mining, over fishing, farming, etc. Just sheer outcompetition within ecological niches. Might cheer up some of us. Thanks!
We want more information about animal kingdom
Penguins? Oh, do you mean "Pengwings?"
can u make a video about hyperloop transport
North not have penguin but we have narwhal and polar bear
I imagine a few million years ahead when giant, singing, krill eating birds roam the ocean depths.
The penguin overlords shall rise once more.
i think penguins and seagulls look alike at times
Mountains of Madness intensifies
Dosnt penguins just fly through the water! Aha ha aha häää!!!
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck... it’s one of a duck-like species.
(Had an error)
Except when its a loon.
What about the Auk, for whom the word Penguin was 1st used?
What about it
I luuuuuuurv penguins. That’s all. 😍🥰😘🐧
Noot noot
I have a puffin tattooed on my ankle. So many people ask “is that a penguin?”
Is it a penguin?
Whoa. An extinction that wasn't caused by humans?
Related to gannets? I bet they wet their nests.
K O W A L S K I A N A L Y S I S
Skipper, it apears to be a scientifically engineered species from Hoboken.
til that seals and sea lions are two different species.
i always thought sea lion was a nickname for seals
They Might Be Gannets
Why are penguins waddling in both winterlands and beaches
Interesting, short and sad
Calling something a result of convergent evolution hurts my head, though I can't figure out why exactly. I think an _example_ of convergent evolution works much better.
You are right, it makes it sound like the two groups try to become similar. It's a common problem that teleological language slips in when talking about evolution. What actually happens is, similar environmental pressures result in similar adaptations.
@@eljanrimsa5843 I think it's because it isn't the _result_ of convergent evolution. It is the _result_ of evolution. It seems to imply some sort of grand design. Like, evolution knows that it has happened before so this time it is convergent evolution.
One of the things that was pounded into out heads is that evolution has no memory, and it has no plan. It is just a series of genetic mutations that gives animals more success at breeding to pass on those mutated genetics.
Jesus .. hank... did we eat them ....
Answer me hank did we eath them with the elephant puppies
And giant sloths
.... hank its cool.... I watched the video
We didnt eat them .......
❤️❤️❤️
there's also the great auk
Greak Auk?
Well, that was aukward.
but what did it taste like?
Like penguins, which aren't very tasty according to Antarctica explorers.
Thanks for the nightmare fuel
We have northern "penguins". They're called puffins! ❤️❤️
Too short guys
When are we going to start calling penguin wings flippers?
And if you say "but they're wings", they're arms yet nobody calls them that, so
Japan?! That's odd.
I can't believe you guys made a whole episode about Northern Hemisphere "penguins" and didn't at least mention the animal that the word penguin originally referred to: the Great Auk. It would've made a great comparison to the other two groups you discussed in the video!
Spectacularly disappointed at the lack of Danny Divito comments......
PENGUIN
Binod
Pengwings?
Penglings?
“one of the most unique features these two species share...” triggered two of my pet peeves in one sentence.
hhhnnnggnnnn giant penguiiiiins
Lovecraft was right!
The Great Auk was the Northern Hemisphere's answer to the penguin, but we killed the last on in 1844.
who else thought this was going to be about the great auk
Why do 24 downvoters hate giant penguins?
They're Mac or Windows users.
Please do NOT say most unique. Unique means one of a kind; is e a group containing one member.
uni= one unique=1 que Got it.
@@christelheadington1136 unus= one icus= belonging to.
The "que" or _icus_ part is the same suffix as the _ic_ in the word Slavic. Meaning beloning to the Slavs.
3rd?
When you think it’s about the original penguin, the great auk, but no 😒
knockoff penguins
pwengins
Second!
🥗
???? What??
Don't ALL or at least many underwater swimming birds "wing swim" it's floating or surface swimmers that use their feet
ya know wat thought thought
Imagine walking around in the snow and you see a 5 FT tall penguin waddle menacingly towards your current location
Its him!!!
it's scary how much time you spend on youtube
now imagine 6 ft tall penguin .
Human: what a nice beach
Penguin: you mean my beach
Hey man how's it going
Stefan ..... Hanks not answering... did we eat them.... I need to know
We eat all the cool animals
Ok we didnt eat them ......
No man has known the taste of big taste fishy bois
We ? Speak for yourself.
@@christelheadington1136 so you did it !
Humans eat _everything._ *_EVERYTHING!_* ¬_¬
They went extinct before humans existed
WAIT.
Flightless. Diving. Gannets.
So we almost got Gannetwhales back in the Miocene!
Underrated comment
Imagine walking around in snow and a bunch of angry penguins jump you😂
Search for Benedict Cumberbatch saying penguins. Trust me, you will not be disappointed 😂😂
Thanks, I have forgotten how the word penguin is supposed to be said now.😁
Excellent, I'd wondered about the diving bird connection myself.
“Penguins are pretty weird right?” First line and I’m ready to fight you. Guins are the best and obviously my favorite. I came here prepared to cry tears of joy and instead it’s come to fisticuffs. Thanks 2020.
The best ones are always the weird ones. *hugs octopus*
The imposter! Ploto looking sus
*emperor penguin was not the imposter*
Could those Merlin mammals have eat the plotopterids
Could pterodactyls swim or dive
markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-life-aquatic-with-flying-reptiles.html?m=1
were the great auks northern penguins or were the last known descendants of the plotopterids? if they were actual penguins, how'd they end up in the north?
Listen to the video - they''re not penguins!!!!
@@feralbluee I watched the video and they never mentioned anything about the great Auks. they speak about birds that lived millions of years ago, I'm speaking of one that lived up to 1852.
wiki places them in the pinguin genus but I was wondering if it was accurate.
@@yochitoranaga
Great auks are not closely related to penguins, but they were given the same name in English because the first English people to encounter penguins thought they looked like great auks
Was your map that showed Mexico as part of their territory wrong, or was the script wrong for not mentioning it?
Omg now I'm super curious. I know how whale species are mammals that returned to the water. How did penguins go From the water, INTO THE SKY (if they did?) and back again?
The physics of penguin movement through water is the same as that of birds through the air. Perhaps we should stop saying penguins swim and just admit they fly in a different fluid. Additionally, as many people have noted, Great Auks also flew underwater. They were just the largest member of another group of birds in the Northern hemisphere, the auks (e.g. murres, puffins, Razorbills, auklets, and guillemots). Today they are the only birds that are efficient at flying in two fluids with the same appendages, cover the same niche as penguins do in the Southern hemisphere, but don't get recognition for their equally powerful cuteness factor.
The first scientifically described penguin was the Great Auk (pinguinus impennis), native to the perimeter of the North Atlantic, to which educators have lied to us as “there were no North Hemisphere Penguins”, especially because hunting by mankind led to their extinction. If we pretend they didn’t exist, we can pretend their extinction never happened, and hurray, absolved of that pesky detail. Would have been nice to fit them into this evolutionary puzzle.
(0:58) "Now we've taken this theory one stage further. If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as the man and then compare the relative brain sizes, we now find that the penguin's brain is still smaller. But, and this is the point, it is larger than it was." -- _Monty Python,_ s3e12
There is also the recently extinct great auk, the animal which the word penguin originally referred to, which is from the gull lineage. There were also recently extinct large flightless diving sea ducks from the north Pacific. Basically every major lineage of sea bird has their version of large flightless diving birds. Also, we humans simply can't have nice things.
I feel the need to p-p-p-pick up a chocolate biscuit snack now... :P
Sea Leopards wouldn’t stand a chance 😂
Aww man I really wanted a giant penguin doppelganger
Why are they called plotopterit?
somehow giant birds go extinct whenever mammals show up (& I don't mean us)
