Palaeeudyptes Klekowskii and Aprosdokitos

Palaeeudyptes Klekowskii was the largest penguin to have ever waddled on the face of the earth. It lived in what is now known as the La Mesets Formation on Seymour Island in Antarctica during the Late Eocene. Standing at 2 meters in height, Palaeeudyptes Klekowskii would have been even taller than the average adult human. No wonder it was nicknamed the Colossus Penguin.



Diet: Fish, squid and marine invertebrates.


Casualties: None.


On the other hand Aprosdokitos was Palaeeudyptes Klekowskii's polar opposite. Aprosdokitos was in fact the world's smallest penguin. Standing at only 35 centimeters in height it would have been even smaller than today's Little Blue Penguin which stands 43 centimeters tall. It appears that this island was home to both the biggest and smallest penguins ever.



Diet: Small fish, small squid and small marine invertebrates.


Code name: Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo


Casualties: None.


Anomaly incident: An anomaly opened up inside of the Gjøvik Olympic Cavern Hall in Norway and a flock of Aprosdokitos waddled through it.


It was not long before the flock of tiny penguins began to make their way towards the ice rink that was located within the cavern.


Meanwhile at the ARC facility the anomaly's signature appeared on the monitors and an ARC team was quickly dispatched to its location.


Soon they arrived the Gjøvik Olympic Cavern Hall, but upon entering the establishment they were hit with an overwhelmingly bad stench. It wasn't long before they took note of the excessive amount of bird droppings that littered the floor.


Meanwhile at the anomaly's location a group of Palaeeudyptes Klekowskii came through it and headed towards the pool's location within the establishment.


Just as the giant penguins entered the room with the pool the ARC team arrived at the anomaly just missing them.


Half of the ARC team stayed with the anomaly while the others headed towards the ice rink, but when they arrived they found hundreds of Aprosdokitos waddling and sliding on the ice.


The ARC team began to try to formulate a plan on how to get the flock of mini penguins back through the anomaly.


But while they were doing that they failed to notice a pair of Aprosdokitos waddling away from the group and out of the room.


Meanwhile the rest of the team members that had stayed behind to keep an eye on the anomaly noticed the splashing noises coming from the pool room and a few team members entered it.


When they did enter the room they discovered that a group of Palaeeudyptes Klekowskiis were using it as a place to cool down.


As they tried to figure out how to get the 6 foot tall penguins out of the pool and back through the anomaly the other team members set their plan into action.


They began by closing the doors for the ice rink trapping the Aprosdokitos inside then the others that stayed inside the ice rink simply picked up the tiny penguins and passed them off to the others on the outside. Afterwards they brought them back through the anomaly, put them down and then ran back through the anomaly to repeat the cycle.


After a few hours of this the ARC team finally got all of them back through the anomaly.


Meanwhile the rest of the team members were still trying to get the Palaeeudyptes Klekowskiis to follow them out.


After a few failed attempts paleontologists (**********) proposed that they record the calls of the Palaeeudyptes Klekowskiis and then replay them to lure the giant penguins back through the anomaly.


With no other option the team tried his plan and to the surprise of many it actually worked.


As the last of the Palaeeudyptes Klekowskiis waddled through the anomaly zoologist (****) ran towards them with the two runaway prehistoric penguins in hand.


But before she could get them through the anomaly it closed sealing the two Aprosdokitos in the present day. This forced the ARC team to bring them back to the ARC facility.


Aprosdokitos incident 1: Waddle Dee and Waddle Doo got out of their holding pen while it was being cleaned. It would be 30 minutes before they could be brought back to their holding pen.
