Emperor Penguins by Paul Nicklen. THIS IS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED!!!
The flightless Great Auk is an extinct bird very sadly. I would like to see a live one of these pretty much double-sized Razorbills with normal-sized Razorbill wings! The Great Auk was the original penguin, hence the Latin name, Pinguinus impennis, "imperial penguin". The penguins we know today are called so because of their similar shape, flightlessness and swimming ability to the Great Auk.
