In Real Life
The Great Auk is an extinct species of bird. Despite its resemblance to a penguin, Great Auks have their own genus Pinguinus. Penguins were given their name due to their resemblance to Great Auks. The great auk used to inhabit North Atlantic coastal waters, as well as the coasts of Southern France, Italy and others among the Mediterranean Basin. The great auk was a particularly important as both a food source and cultural icon for the Native Americans. Both Native Americans and sailors hunted the great auk for its meat, eggs, and down feathers. Unfortunately, exploitative hunting practices lead to the species' overall extinction.
