What Exactly is: Great Auk | The Original Penguin

We discovered Great Auk way before we discovered what we now know as penguins. Penguin was a name for the great auks, so we called penguins “penguin” because they resemble the great auks. Nowadays, the opposite usually happens. People call Great Auk “northern penguin” because they resemble what we now know as penguin. Regardless, let the tale of the Great Auk be a lesson for us.
