Q1.State whether the following statement is True or False.
i. As compared to their ancestors, the penguins are smaller in size.
Answers
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The bones of the Palaeeudyptes klekowskii species of penguin were discovered on Seymour Island, off the coast of Antarctica, and were reported in ScienceDirect. The old species previously stood around 6.6 feet tall, dwarfing the largest species today, the emperor penguin, which barely stands about 4 feet tall. The tarsometatarsus bone, which is the joint between the ankle and the foot, is the one that most correctly shows size in the colossus penguin's fossil remains. It is the longest such bone yet known for penguins, measuring 3.6 inches in length, leading to predictions that the penguins stood at well over 6 feet with their beaks pointing skyward, and well over 5 feet from head to toe. Oh, and they weighted roughly 250 pounds.
Answer:
hi there,
The answer to your question is False as scientists have found a skeleton structure of penguin's ancestors. The penguin's in the ancient period, used to be bigger even than us (humans). But now these types of penguins are extinct.
