Emperor penguins typically stand about 1.1 to 1.2 meters (approximately 3.6 to 4 feet) tall. Most sources agree on a height range around 110–122 cm (43–48 inches), with some variation due to measurement methods and individual differences
. To summarize:
- Common height range: 110–122 cm (3.6–4 feet)
- Some scientific measurements report standing heights around 83–108 cm (33–43 inches), but 1.1–1.2 m is widely accepted for adults
- They are the tallest and heaviest living penguin species
Thus, an adult emperor penguin is roughly as tall as a small child, standing about 1.1 to 1.2 meters tall.
