  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.

      Maybe you were thinking of the fruits, rather than the birds?

    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.

    Apparently there are different types. Great Spotted Kiwi can reach 18" tall.

  Kiwis are about 5 times bigger than I thought.

      They should at least be closer in size!
