A dodo is an extinct BIRD, that was formerly
found on the island of Mauritius, It was
exterminated before the end of the 17th
century. Although related to the pigeons,
it was larger than a turkey, with a bulky
body and very short wings and tail.
Flightless and trusting, it was easy prey to
humans. Resently scientists have brought
forward plans to "bring back" the dodo using
DNA.
