Well now I want to talk to you about an extinct species of hairy-ass elephants. And they had hair all over, not just on their ass!

Another one for you. there are no extant true penguins. What we see now are covergently evolved flightless birds. True penguins went extinct.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_auk

The great auk (Pinguinus impennis), also known as the penguin or garefowl, is an extinct species of flightless alcid that first appeared around 400,000 years ago and became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It was not closely related to the penguins of the Southern Hemisphere, which were named for their resemblance to this species.

Most seabirds taste like oily fish but with the texture of chicken.

Hot damn, fry that bad boy up and give me some tartar sauce

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

That sounds perfect tbh. I love fish flavour but mostly don't like the texture.
