Palaeeudyptes antarcticus, also referred to as the narrow-flippered penguin, is the type species of the extinct penguin genus Palaeeudyptes. It was a huge species, albeit probably with a large size variation. Although the size range can only be loosely estimated, the birds seem to have stood between 43 and 55 inches (1.1 and 1.4 m) high in life (i.e. somewhat larger than an emperor penguin), placing this species and its congener Palaeeudyptes marplesi among the largest penguin species known. It was the last known Palaeeudyptes species, and although the exact time when it lived is not precisely determined, it may have evolved from P. marplesi, or they might even have been a single species which slightly decreased in size over time.

  • Palaeeudyptes antarcticus era una specie di pinguino, tipo biologico dell'estinto gene Palaeeudyptes. Si trattava di una specie di grosse dimensioni. Per quanto la varietà delle dimensioni sia difficilmente stimabile, gli studiosi ritengono che l'altezza di questi uccelli misurasse tra 110 e 140 cm, risultando insieme al congenere Palaeeudyptes marplesi tra le più imponenti specie di pinguini conosciute.

  • Palaeeudyptes antarcticus är en utdöd fågel i familjen pingviner inom ordningen pingvinfåglar. Den beskrevs 1859 utifrån fossila lämningar från oligocen funna i Nya Zeeland och är därmed den första fossila pingvinarten som beskrivits. (sv)

  • 南極古冠企鵝(學名Palaeeudyptes antarcticus)是古冠企鵝屬下已滅絕的模式種。牠們是一巨大的企鵝,估計高達1.1-1.4米,是屬內最大的物種。牠們是最後出現的古冠企鵝屬,雖然確實時期不明,但相信是演化自馬普利斯古冠企鵝,或是與之是同一物種。 南極古冠企鵝是最先發現的化石企鵝。其化石是一個跗蹠骨,在新西蘭(Kakanui)的Otekaike灰岩發現,可以追溯至漸新世晚期。另外在南極(Seymour Island)的La Meseta組也發現了一個屬於始新世晚期的骨頭,可能也是屬於南極古冠企鵝的。 除此之外,有大量的其他骨頭也被置於此物種中。這些化石在未確認其他大型企鵝前都毫無置疑地分類在此物種中,但隨著認識較多後,這些化石的分類有待進一步審查。其中一些化石的大小是介乎於南極古冠企鵝及馬普利斯古冠企鵝之間,所以有指這兩個物種其實是同一物種。 (zh)
  • Palaeeudyptes antarcticus es la especie tipo del género extinto de pingüinos Palaeeudyptes. Es una especie de gran tamaño, aunque probablemente con una gran variación de envargadura. Aunque solo se puede estimar el tamaño medio de forma muy aproximada, las aves encontradas tenían una altura en vida entre los 110 y 140 cm (algo más grandes que el pingüino emperador), situando a esta especie y a su congénere Palaeeudyptes marplesi entre los pigüinos más grandes conocidos. Es la única especie perteneciente a Palaeeudyptes conocida que sobrevivió hasta época más moderna, aunque no ha sido posible determinar con exactitud el período durante el que vivió. Podría haber evolucionado a partir de P. marplesi, o incluso podría ser que ambos fueran una sola especie cuyo tamaño fue decreciendo ligerame (es)
