Truest majesty, nothing can match the wonder and weirdness of and that is the Dodo bird.

Wat a beautiful reconstruction.

And the circustances around this bird history too! It is said that more was written about the dodo than any other extinct bird, and yet we know almost anything about it in life. 

Thank you!
