41 Strange, a Twitter account thats run by authors who share weird photos from about the web, tweeted an image of a penguin standing beside a sketeal version of itself. Well, one Twitter user, @vdeIrossi, was confused by the image writing that they needed "a minute to process" the fact that a majority of a penguins skeleton is mostly neck.

Soon after sharing the initial shock, other Twitter users began to comment their surprise and confusion, as well. 

Now we know, penguins are 98% neck and 2% wobble -- you learn something new everyday!

    Vertebrate - Jazzzminnn @Lojaaay Replying to @vdelrossi and @Jopha3 in case y'all were wondering where the knees at, but the bone structure makes it invisible to the outside eye. technically the penguin's permanent bone structure is a "sitting" position thus why they waddle 100 Sphaniscus megeramphua Humbolet pengun Spheniscos humbolat 4:09 PM · Jan 23, 2020 Twitter for iPhone >
