The great auk (Pinguinus impennis) is a species of flightless alcid that became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It is unrelated to the birds now known as penguins, which were discovered later and so named by sailors because of their physical resemblance to the great auk. - wikipedia #Extinct_Animals Great Auk, Extinct Birds, Extinct Species, Flightless Bird, Amazing Birds, Unusual Animals, Extinct Animals, Rare Animals, Prehistoric Animals
