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.

The largest species is the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): adults average about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kg (75 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin (also known as the Fairy Penguin), which stands around 40 cm tall (16 in) and weighs 1 kg (2.2 lb). In 2002, a group of Argentinian scientists found in the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula a subspecies of the emperor penguin, with a maximum height of 1.6 m.
