In pounds, how much do scientists think the newfound species weighed? 

a) 250 pounds 
b) 460 pounds 
c) 90 pounds
d) 340 pounds 

An international team of researchers has found the fossilized remains of the largest-known penguin on Earth. The newfound species is thought to have weighed about 340 pounds (154 kg). This is over three times heavier than the largest living species, the emperor penguin. The record previously belonged to a 256-pound (116 kg) penguin that lived in Antarctica about 37 million years ago.

The giant species, named Kumimanu fordycei (K. fordycei), was unearthed on New Zealand's South Island in 2016. The team, led by Dr. Daniel Ksepka at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, also found fossils of eight other penguins in the same area. Five belong to another new species, named Petradyptes stonehousei (P. stonehousei). This penguin is believed to have weighed about 110 pounds (49 kg).

Both penguins had slender flipper bones. They were similar to those of birds that could fly and swim. However, the researchers believe neither penguin could fly. Since the skeletons were incomplete, the scientists could not accurately determine the height of the two species.<|im_end|>
