Raphus, the Dodo

(image source: https://pixels.com/featured/3-dodo-bird-spencer-sutton.html?product=poster) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Raphus, also known as the dodo and a shining example of anthropogenic extinction. That’s when humans completely kill a species, just in case you wanted a punch in the gut today. From the Early Holocene, this 3-foot tall columbid bird is one of the prime candidates for scientists to try and resurrect Jurassic Park style, which would make for a far less impressive movie I must say. “They’re moving in herds…” Duh, they’re flock animals.
