The only h*ad of the dodo

The only h*ad of the dodo

The only head of the dodo, which went extinct 315 years ago, is in the Natural History Museum in London, where it is considered an invaluable piece of natural history.

This specimen offers a unique perspective on the wildlife of its original habitat, the island of Mauritius.

Discovered by Europeans in 1598, the dodo disappeared in the late 17th century due to intensive hunting and the introduction of invasive species.

At around one metre tall and weighing between 10 and 17 kilograms, the dodo has become a symbol of extinction and a powerful reminder of the impact of humans on ecosystems.
