To be very dead indeed. The dodo was a large flightless and idiotic
bird brought to extinction in 1681 by Sailors who wished to take thier heads
home to thier native countries. Unlike some other extinct animals (Thylacine, Carolina Parakeet, Passenger pigeon, flightless Ibis
etc.) It is certain that the last of these creatures is dead. The word dodo is interchangeable with Quagga, giant lemur, Auroch, Giant
Moa or any other long-time dead animal.
