Sequiwaimanu


Sequiwaimanu is an extinct genus of early penguin. The type species, Sequiwaimanu rosieae, was named and described by Gerald Mayr in 2018.[1]

It is the fourth penguin species to be discovered from the Waipara Greensand in New Zealand, which originally held two species that were assigned to the taxon Waimanu. Also this penguin had leg bones similar to an unnamed giant penguin.[2]
