   Extractions: Images of the Dodo Most people believe that the dodo was a fat, ungainly bird, which died out because it was too slow to escape when hunted. Is this really true? What did the Dodo look like? There is very little solid evidence of the dodo’s appearance. The head and foot in the Museum represent the most complete remains of a single dodo. Many other museums have dodo skeletons, but these are composites, made up from the bones of different birds. Before the advent of photography, images of animals were recorded by artists who often had no specialist knowledge of natural history. During the 17th Century, paintings were often influenced by stylistic or fashionable preferences for particularly plump or colourful animals. Many of the better-known dodo paintings were based on the few birds brought back to Europe by travellers. Some pictures may well have been drawn from badly stuffed specimens, and in some cases are simply copies of illustrations by other artists. Dr Andrew Kitchener has demonstrated that if the images are ordered according to age, the dodo's apparent physique progressively becomes fatter and more ungainly. It is also possible that the captive birds really were obese because of their confinement and inappropriate diet, and wild dodos looked very different. Oxford's painting The painting in the Museum was presented to the Ashmolean in 1813 by W.H. Darby. It dates from 1651, and was produced by a Flemish artist, Jan Savery. His uncle, Roelandt Savery, painted many images of the dodo, and it seems likely that Jan copied from one or more of Roelandt's paintings. The most likely originals are held in Berlin (1626) and Vienna (1628). However, even Roelandt Savery produced some paintings showing the dodo with webbed feet, which suggests he did not know the bird too well. His drawings of other animals are far more consistently alike than his dodos. The animal illustrated appears to have rather downy feathers and a relatively large head, features usually associated with younger birds.

   Extractions: About Mauritius Old Print of a Dodo The dodo was a flightless bird native only to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The dodo was a flightless member of the pigeon family. Fully grown dodos weighted about 23 kg (50 pounds). Around 1505 the Portuguese became the first Europeans to discover the dodo. By 1681 it had been driven to extinction by humans and the feral dogs, pigs, rats, and monkeys introduced by Europeans to Mauritius. The dodo was not the only Mauritian bird driven to extinction in recent centuries. Of the 45 bird species originally found, only 21 still survive. Two bird species closely related to the dodo also became extinct: the Réunion solitaire (raphus solitarius) . by 1746, and the Rodrigues solitaire (pezophaps solitaria ) by 1790. Reports of sightings of living dodos in the 1990s on Mauritius prompted William J. Gibbons to mount expeditions to search for them. None were found.

    Extractions: and Other Male Species by Mary Taylor Gray Attention all women: Having trouble understanding today's men? This new field guide will forever change the shape of species categorization as we know it. Is your mate a Heron Chest, a Bulge-Breasted Bodybuilder, a Sensitive New-Age Sparrow, a Tribal Turkey or a Nice Gull? Finally, you'll know once and for all just what kind of men you're dealing with after reading Dodos, Birds of Prey and Other Male Species, a very uncommon field guide to the other sex. Every woman should have one! Since male-watching is an art dating back to at least the Stone Age, Mary Taylor Gray decided it was time women had a field guide to further the practice. This hilarious look at the great variety of modern men details all the specifics of nesting and breeding habits, plumage, mating call and lifestyle of 43 species of that rare bird, the North American Male.
