  Last year Jevin and I visited the Port Louis museum. I was surprised ’cause I remembered it being bigger when I was a kid! lol

  If you had watched the recent documentary, they mentioned that Dodo’s meat wasn’t particularly good to eat – so the Dutch did not eat off all Dodos.

  If the Dodo was alive, well… it would be just another big bird.

  Lol, when I saw Dodo, I thought about the Dodo club and I dont think many Mauritian miss them (dodo club I mean)

  @bruno – surely those who were part of the dodo club would miss it. Needlessly to say many of those who were not part of the dodo club now aged persons would have the nostalgia of meeting white women at the time hahahahha

  Yes saw that news on TV and did I hear right, 4,000 years old bones and also remains of giant tortoises? I wonder why the Dutch mariners killed them all if they were not good to eat? Just for the feathers? Don’t think so, meat probably like a Turkey. Maybe they will clone them and start a KFD !

• Muzzammil

  not KFD, may be an MFD(Mauritian fried DODO). anyway,..
  there’s one thing that intrigered me, there’s no mention of how they dated the bones to 4000yrs. does Mauritius have carbon-14 dating facilities?

• ritzz

  The Dutch killed the Dodos to give food to the workers and slaves who repaired the ships in Mauritius! As they were not so good to eat they were given to lower class workers and the tortoises were reserved for the Captain, the Sailors and important crew members!

  As there were many workers to be fed, so many Dodos were killed to be served as food! So now you understand how the stock of Dodos decreased astonishingly to extinction!

  And moreover The Dodo only gave one egg per year! So, if mongooses and rats got that egg, per Dodo Family NO “petit Dodo” will be available for a whole year!!!!

  So Sad story for The Dodo of Mauritius!

  What if:

  1. the dodo speaks creol?
  2. the dodo has a blog?
  3. the dodo blogs?
  4. the dodo is not laying eggs any more
  5. dodo wears rayban

  

  Well i don’t think they are still alive man otherwise geologists(which I dnt know whether we have in mauritius) would have said so. They(the dodos NOT THE GEOLOGISTS are really cute as seen in picture!!!
