Feast Your Eyes on the Last Remaining Dodo Soft Tissues

#shorts #scinews #science news #science #science max #dodo #extinct #bird #Mauritius #soft tissue #DNA #Oxford #museum Good evening, I’m Aria. In our lead story tonight: Scientists are geeking out over the only remaining dodo soft tissues in existence – turns out the last shreds of this famously extinct bird are on display at Oxford University. This dodo is a bit worse for wear – it’s just a head with some leathery skin left. But researchers managed to get DNA from it, finding the chubby birdbrain was related to pigeons. Forensic scans showed it died from a shotgun blast to the neck – likely from some 17th century British frat bro. The dodo was done in by colonizers in the 1600s – it just stood there like a sitting duck, not realizing the new neighbors had guns and pets and no chill. So next time you see a stuffed dodo in a museum, it’s probably fake – all the real dodo parts are in England. Which means if you’re looking for a dodo souvenir, might I suggest this lovely dodo tee-shirt, available now on the Weekend Update online store. Dodo: the official mascot of getting duped into extinction. Back to you, Colin!
