The animal, dubbed 'monster penguin' by Canterbury Museum, stood around 1.6m (5ft 3in) tall.

Today's largest species, the Emperor Penguin, grows to about 1.2m tall.

The new species, crossvallia waiparensis, resembles another prehistoric giant penguin, crossvallia unienwillia, which was found at a site in Antarctica. It likely shared the waters around New Zealand with"giant turtles, corals and strange-looking sharks," Mr Scofield says.It's not entirely clear why the giant penguins disappeared from the waters of the Southern Hemisphere."At the time giant penguins evolved, the large marine reptiles just had become extinct," Gerald Mayr, another author of the new study, told the BBC.
