The ancestors of the earliest penguins lived around the time of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction (~65 million years ago) event somewhere in the general area of what is now southern New Zealand and Byrd Land, Antarctica. It appears likely that at this time they still had the ability to fly, but this cannot be confirmed from the available fossils.
