Yahoo News is reporting that they have found the remains of a Dodo in a cave in Mauritius. It will yield excellent DNA, I'm told! Hooray!!!!!!

So, you'd get something huge, hairy, with tiny wings and too stupid to run away from humans. Sounds like a winning Darwinian combination to me!

No, it would be something small and feathery, with a long snout, fond of trampling through very small portions of people's gardens while on its migration route.

One wonders if it hung out with the giant sunbathing penguins?

As in what's read and white and black all over? Ah well, no-one would make jokes if they had sabre-teeth!

on the other wing, you could end up with a huge feathered flying thing.
Would it still be good for the roses if it landed from a great height?
