NEW PRODUCT: Dodo skull.
This is a replica of one of the finest specimens of dodo skull available from Harvard university from the last living dodo in existence.
The dodo, now extinct, once inhabited the small island of Mauritius, located near Madagascar. This large flightless bird was easy prey for mariners and colonists as a food source. Over hunting coupled with the introduction of domestic dogs, cats, and pigs lead to the dodo's extinction in 1681. The dodo's name comes from the early Dutch and Portuguese who visited Mauritius who referred to it as sluggish and foolish in appearance.
