Adults can be from 40cm-160cm tall.

Penguins vary in size from the little penguin (Eudyptula minor), which weighs 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) and is about 40 cm (16 in) tall, to the emperor penguin, which grows to 30 kg (66 lb) in weight and stands about 115 cm (45 in) tall. The emperor penguin is small compared to the fossil penguin Anthropornis, which lived 37 million to 45 million years ago on Seymour Island near Antarctica. Fossil records indicate that Anthropornis was around 170 cm (66 in) in height, almost the size of a human.
