Dodo Bird = approx. Fat Pigeons

Complete Dodo bird skeletons were found in a cave and scientists hope that enough DNA was preserved together which they can use to analyse for more clues about this extinct bird. Meanwhile, some years back, scientists managed to find out that these birds are sort of like fat pigeons with the limited DNA they had from another specimen. Hopefully, more interesting info will come forward from the new discovery.
