WHAT HAPPENED TOTHE DODO…… ?
Intoduction by BILL ODDIE.
My hobby is bird watching. The bird I would most love to see is a DODO. But I am too late . DODOs are extinct. There are none left anywhere. Dodos aren’t the only creature that has gone the same way.Not many years ago, the Passenger Pigeon was extremely common in America. People talked of the flocks being so huge that they blocked out the sun. There were no birdwatchers then. There were hunters and eaters! In a very short time the Passenger Pigeon became extinct. So did a bird that lived on the sea and looked like a big penguin. The Great Auk. Now extinct. Shot. Gone. And the Elephant bird ,that looked more like a bird than an elephant! Like a giant Ostrich. An easy target for a hunter, or a big meal for a family. Elephant birds are long, long gone.
I suppose we would like to think that people nowadays wouldn’t kill wild birds for food or fun. But they do. All over the world. Despite the fact that many species are on the official “Endangered List”, which means that they too are in danger of disappearing, like the Dodo. They include the Labrador and Pink Headed Ducks. The Eskimo Curlew,the Mysterious Starling ( its name tells the tale!) A Hawaiian Bird called a Huia,the Takahe from New Zealand like a plump purple chicken and in The Southern States of America,a bird that I think of as the feathered equivalent of the yeti, the Ivory Billed Woodpecker A few people claim to have seen it, but nobody is absolutely sure. Did they ever exist ? Have they become extinct? People still go searching for them. Maybe there are just a few left, hiding away deep in the forests or mountains.
Here is a little challenge. If you could bring back one extinct Bird, Fish or Animal, what would it be? I know what MINE is........ Its story is in this book!

No matter how you put it, even in kids story form, its still tear jerking
Thank you for the commment! The next book is a lot more optomistic! ant
Roughs for the next book recieved yesterday ! The Dodo's eggcellent idea - Turn it off!
Looks like the Last remianig Dodo( ?) is doing fine and in good hands! Ant
The next story is much happier - I've seen the script!
I really think that egg was that narritor
So true ! But there is a more positive twist in the next story !
I hope the dodo bird come's back
I think you might like the next installment of the story! Ant.
Yeah same
Scientist:ah shit here we go again*brings it back to life*
Am from Mauritius, love your videos
Fun fact: guys remember the last egg from the story the egg was the narator
Kinda reminded me of the 'ol Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, aahhh..."and the moral of the story, honorable children friends???"
The Dodo’s only lived on this Island, nowhere else.
On that movie Ice Age, Dodo’s never saw or ever encountered Mammoths or Sabre tooth Tigers. They only lived on this Island for many thousands of years.
ok
Completely right !
I'm from Mauritius 🇲🇺
So what do you think of our Dodo charcater please ? Ant
The Dutch sailors only ate a few dodos, they didn't taste very good. What caused their extinction was the dogs, cats and rats the sailors brought to the island eating all of the dodo eggs and destroying their natural habitat.
Very Catchy tune - Nice message!
The tip of the iceberg.......
Ielts test bought me here!!
Yes, like the Last Remaining Dodo - trying to help put the World to rights and Save our Species!
Your every were in this comment section
oh my goodness, there’s thousands of them! 0:57
You forgot the animals they brought that competed with the dodo
Если бы остров Маврикий открыли в 21 веке, то Маврикийский дронт смог дожить до наших дней.
I wish that the dodos are still alive to this day maybe is because that they could've have big wings so they can fly and even swim
Nice video.. Poor dodos😢😢😢.. I am from mauritius
Thank you so much! We have a children's book of the video - we would love to find a partner in Mauritius, if you had any ideas please? We also have a hand puppet for use by teachers as a teaching aid in environmental study classes., Many thanks, Ant
@@lrdodo Thats nice.. I will find a partner for you❤️❤️❤️
@@lutchmeeballchand655 Thank you - that would be wonderful ! My email is ant@dontdothedodo.com. Many thanks again! Ant
@@lrdodo thank you❤️❤️
@@lutchmeeballchand655 The book also comes in a colouring in version.......
The last egg could be Alice in wonderlands 1951 Dodo because of his sailor like qualities in the film
Chosen to go the Jules Verne and the time machine route to bring the L(as) R(emaining) Dodo into the 21 st century - but really like your thinking ! Ant
or he’s obviously the nigga telling the story
Please don’t pull my leg silly
The main issue that contributed to their extinction is that Dodos had no predators at all, so they didn't need and have any deffense mechanism against predatory threats.
So, when these sailors brought animals such as dogs and mice into the island, they became invasive species, and completely killed the quite literally deffenseless birds.
Absolutely correct !
Time someone made a stand for our planet!!
One small voice ........
DONT BE SCARED GUYS SCIENTISTS COULD BRING BACK THE DODO BIRD!
Yes but if they found the dna
Lets not have any other dodos either ! Can the scientists help us with that too?
How?!there gone :/
@@asmztaseer Scientists could have patricles of the dna of the dobo birds and then revive them then get a male and female and get the female pregnant and then dodo birds are back
@@HallowWiz ok so NOW it makes sense but how do we get the dodos to get pregnant?!
it's okay i'm here guys, i was just hiding all along tee hee
Дронт был довольно умной и сообразительной птицей. Он мог одним ударом когтей убить одичавшую крысу, если она пыталась съесть его птенцов. А своим мощным клювом он мог нанести серьёзные раны одичавшим собакам, если те пытались напасть на его самку.
хорошо ли эта история переведется на русский?
1:10 I can see lots of Wilbur and Orville are playing together! If y’all are playing acnh you may know what I mean
There goes our last female
Not neccesarily........
Roughs for the next book recieved yesterday ! The Dodo's eggcellent idea - Turn it off!
Looks like the Last remianig Dodo( ?) is doing fine and in good hands! Is it a he or is it a she??? Ant
if they weren’t extinct we would be watching dodo mukbang :(
Not another Dod fest ....... PLEASE !
@@handspunrecords it’s better to go extinct but really wanna see them and protect these precious creatures
I'm not extinct! And who said we can't fly? We got hundreds of jet packs in store. That''s how we escaped from Earth.
Are you planning on coming back again???
@@handspunrecords Nope. We're doing Uno Reverse Card. Human extinction. Then, the natural world will be saved.
@@thedodobird1709 Sounds like a good plan to me ! Ant
Earth calling the Dodos !
This is real
VERY REAL!
I love it!!
Dang it sucks to be a animal that can't fly or swim and tastes so bad
I am not sure they even tasted that good - maybe like Kentucky Fried ??
Oh shoot I rewatched this video right after you replyed and got it wrong 😂
the egg hatched into a dodo which eventually died and its remains were dumped in the trash except for one head skin
We are actually going for a more positive outcome - sorry! The Dodo gets snatched from the jaws of a storm and almost certain death, by Professor Watercooler and his sidekick info the robot in a time travelling machine - The next installment will be "The Dodo's eggcellent idea - TURN IT OFF! - so stay tuned! Ant
" Have yiu ever heard of a STRANGER THING"
ME: do do do do do do do do duuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh IM EL I HAVE SUPERPOWERSSSS I LOVVE STRANGER THINGS-"
ohh right. the dodo bird....
The LAST REMAINING DODO BIRD!!!
Yeah don't be scared of dodos!
SAVE DODO
And not just the dodo - every animal and plant- please!
We are working on it! Ant
It's too late they disappeared over 350 years ago.
@@vensrinivasan3097Have you checked the whole of Mauritius????
When im a adult im making 10000000000000000000000 dodos alive
Come and help us whenever you are ready! You don't need to be an adult!!! Ant.
Nice 'tude dude!
DUDE AT LEAST JUST A MALE AND A FEMALE
I like Dodo. do not kill it!
Too late....... but there are many other creatures that we can still save!
Don't Do The Dodo! Don't Do The Dodo! UK I saved a jaguar’s life!
How did you do that?
tribes killed them
@@dontdothedododontdothedodo6314 yeah like the Tigers and the rhinos and the elephants
How dare sailors but can skeleton birds live in there instead?
Wouldn't you prefer to see the real deal???
Wouldn't you prefer live birds??
Cause they bird dodo
Awesome storytelling! You could have added the Tambalacoque tree to the story so that we will know what the aftermath of extinction of one species can be. Even without it, your story is compelling. Voice acting is fabulous and the animation is good too. Best wishes!
Thank you so much - your comments are really appreciated! Please do share too! Thanks, Ant
my email is ant@dontdothedodo.com. Where are you based please - we are loooking for collaborators! Ant

The Tamblaocoque tree making an appearence on the new revised book cover ! Thank you for the suggestion ! Best wishes, Ant
if there are samples of dodo DNA you could bring it back and cross it with farm chiken
Nice idea ! Actually,I think you will find that they are more closely related to pigeons ! Ant
ok my mistake cross the dodo DNA with pigeons is that better bye
@@garyfifield5858 More Jursaic park! Ant
Sounds like Jurassic Park!
The thing that makes me so angry, is that the sailors kill all the Dodo species. And when they where gone they left the Island. That is so unmature of people and don't have feelings of what they just did. I hope those sailors are in hell by doing this.
Uhh so uhh there is literally a dodo in the start of the video talking about how the dodo's got extinct but there is still a dodo.....?!
What became of the dodo - what became of the egg ... or am I pulling you leg?
Book 2 The Dodo's eggcellent idea - TURN IT OFF - might reveal the anser to your question! Ant

Working on the next instalment !!
@@handspunrecordsThat storytelling dodo must be that egg
@@kwakuandspinopython1346 You got that right first time ! Colouring in book will be available soooooon !
Dodo birds weren't actually dumb
They weren't smart enough to survive either !
Mm patas
Not being mean
I think the dodo bird telling the story is the dodo bird that hatched from the egg at the end 🤨🧐🤨🧐
Be prepared for a surprise then!

Que popo xd
Well we'll just see the dodos existence in heaven but the dodos are mixed with pigeons and dinosaur and there existence are real and the dodos existence were discovered in the 16's and dodos only are the stupidest birds in the whole world
They went extinct because of the introduced rats eating the eggs
Dodos are creepy
I wish I can taste do dodo birds.
Really ?
dodos will rise
@@izabelfougner8937 Iwill keep looking out for it!
There are better ways of getting attention! Ant
