'''Kairuku was non the less the largest penguin to have ever have lived in history for this would have been nearly the size of a full grown man and so it may have been even faster in the water though not much else is known about this bird apart from the fact it's big though it did possess an unusually long beak which most penguins today apart from the emperor penguin had short beaks. They would have hunted fish, squid and maybe even sea shore carrion if the opportunity came along for them. '''
