From: The National Waterfront Museum, Swansea
The word Dodo is now synonymous with the worst thing that can happen to a wild animal - becoming extinct. The Dodo is a very early example of how we can unthinkingly destroy something such that they disappear without a thought. The skeleton held in the Museum is mostly complete with only a few bones needing to be modelled to complete it. The stuffed example is, however, a model, as there are no skins left of the Dodo anywhere in the world. The Dodo was first seen in 1601 and sadly last seen just 80 years later.
