Sorry, that should say, 'No complete skeleton remained up until now.' There was one skeleton but it was destroyed in a fire in 1755. - Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I thought that Dodo's had become extinct fairly recently, or was that another flightless bird?

As said above, a tribe sat around a campfire and had a big feast of Dodos. - JaggedEdge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So when are we going to start cloning the Mammoth's and Dodo's? :P i remember that one Discovery channel week for the mammoth's where they said theyre thinkin of doing that... so why not Dodo's?! haha man thatd be some neat stuff

- sw96, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I read "Mass Dildo Grave Found" when I first clicked. I'm very dissapointed.
- PottsyNZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Reminds of ice age..
Mine mine mine! x1000 - JPhilipson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very interesting...sad about what happened though...Kind of Angers me that there would be a "Mass Grave" Such Waste...
- screamokid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the ice age one was crazy funny, 2 watermelons + ice age + crazy ass kung foo dodo's = dead kung foo dodo's ok that made no sense :(
- baines, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe the Dodos liked the idea of the Elephant Graveyards and wanted to try it.
Excellent discovery though. - Th3_anOmoLy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This was actually the area at the base of the cliff that all the dodo's fell off of in Ice Age. I kept telling people it was based on a true story but none of my friends believed me...
- prodigy311, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was poorly written...
- firehydra2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Mmmm....dodos....I wish I was there to see what they taste like. Who knows...they may taste better than chicken!
- ventro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why does it say 301 comments?
- p0ZiXXX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"....before western man landed on Mauritius and wiped out the species,"
Translation:
"Before inbred islanders invaded the island and killed off it's rightful inhabitants so they could have bmore space to breed their retarded offspring." - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"Why does it say 301 comments?"
It doesn't it says 30.... thank you Digg Admin! - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Mmmm....dodos....I wish I was there to see what they taste like. Who knows...they may taste better than chicken!"
According to early Dutch explorers they were very greasy and tough. - multifaceted, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought the last stuffed dodo was burned by a museum curator because it smelled bad?
I need to get a copy of A Short History of Nearly Everything in print it would be easier to look things up. - tolkien28, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I know why they are there ! The global flood 4 thousand some years ago explains this perfectly, along with all the thousands of mysterious mass graves all over the world as well!
- smartalecks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0" "Before inbred islanders invaded the island and killed off it's rightful inhabitants so they could have bmore space to breed their retarded offspring." "
F*ck you, you have no right to say that jackass.
My mom's from Mauritius. - hammerattack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Women from Mauritius are among the most beautiful in the planet. I'd gladly stomp on a Dodo's head for a shot at your mom.

Mine mine mine! x1000"
That would be Finding Nemo. - Bluezdood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh dang, I thought I buried those where nobody would find them. Well, guess I'll be eating manatee for Christmas this year.

http://digg.com/science/Treasure_Trove_of_Dodo_Bones_Found - paOol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0because in ice age, all the dodo birds died in the geyser in the same spot. and the rest fell off the cliff and died.
- we.are.devo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Obviously, God planted all the bones in one place just to ***** with our heads.
- bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow. Sounds like they all died simultaneously due some sort of cataclysmic event...LIKE A GREAT FLOOD!!! Yep, I'll bet that was it. Great flood. Now, where did I read about that?
- freonchill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so whose gonna clone the extinct species first ?!
