The Great Auk is now extinct. It was a flightless bird of the North Atlantic which spent most of its time at sea, only coming in to rocky, remote islands to breed. It was hunted to extinction in the 1800s. The Great Auk was not a penguin, but it resembled the penguin in that it was clearly adapted for life in the sea, and had a white front and a black back. It stood about 51cm high, and weighed up to 5kg. Pictures and more information can be found at the related link below.

The 'great auk,' a flightless bird which is now extinct, was originally called 'penguin.' When explorers reached Antarctica, they were reminded of the great auk and transferred the name upon them. Therefore, the early penguins are now known as the great auk and the similar flightless birds of Antarctica are known as penguins. The derivative of the word 'penguin' is unknown.
