description Perudyptes devriesi Overview
Perudyptes devriesi is an extinct penguin known from Eocene fossil deposits in Peru. Described in 2010, it dates to about 42 million years ago and records the presence of penguins at a low latitude in South America during the Eocene. That geographic setting helps show that early penguins had reached regions far from the high southern latitudes often associated with their modern distribution. The species is relevant to research on penguin evolution and the geographic distribution of Eocene penguins.
