The Mauritius Dodo (Raphus cucullatus, called Didus ineptus by Linnaeus (Swedish botanist who proposed the modern system of biological nomenclature (1707-1778))), more commonly just Dodo, was a metre-high flightless bird of the island of Mauritius (A parliamentary state on the island of Mauritius).
The traditional image of the dodo is of a fat, clumsy bird, but this view has been challenged by Andrew Kitchener, a biologist at the Royal Museum of Scotland (additional info and facts about Royal Museum of Scotland) (reported in National Geographic News, February 2002), who believes that the old drawings showed overfed captive specimens.
The last known dodo was killed less than 100 years after their discovery, and no complete specimens are preserved, although a number of museums are home to dodo skeletons.
