Crossvallia (SciiFii)

The wig-headed penguin (Crossvallia zealandii) is a species of penguins, closely related to the Anthropornithinae penguins, that originally lived in Antarctica and New Zealand during the Paleocene as two extinct species, Crossvallia unienwillia and Crossvallia waiparensis, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern coastlines across New Zealand to help boost biodiversity. The wig-headed penguin is a very large penguin, even bigger than the emperor penguin, growing to be about 5.2 feet (1.6 meters) tall and weigh between 70 and 80 kg. The wig-headed penguin is a carnivore that uses it long, sharp beak to snatch up slippery prey such as fish and squid. The conservation status of the wig-headed penguin is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the wig-headed penguin's wide range in New Zealand, and its tolerance to both pollution and human settlements on coastal areas.
