Icadyptes BW

Icadyptes is an extinct genus of giant penguins from the Late Eocene tropics of South America.

Standing about 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) tall, the penguin was much larger than any of its modern-day cousins, yet Icadyptes salasi is merely the third largest penguin ever described. It had an exceptionally long spear-like beak resembling that of a heron. The researchers who discovered the penguins believe the long, pointed beaks to be the likely ancestral shape for all penguins.

A Icadyptes skull (top right) shown in the Kairuku dossier

The Icadyptes itself doesn't appear in ARK: Survival Evolved, however in the Kairuku dossier, a skull of the animal is shown in the dossier that it is not from Kairuku but a Icadyptes. This indicates there may have been a misnomer.
