Had fun creating this dodo character recently! 🐦

A quick Google search has led to finding out that dodos have flightless wings as they didn't have many predators on the island of Mauritius. There's a fact you can take away with you 😂

I drew the human versions of Orville and Wilburr \o/
That’s how I picture them, Orville being the nice soft one and Wilburr being a bit more hardcore 🤭 also, did you know that dodos are from Mauritius?
Anyway, I’m going back to playing Animal Crossing ^^

French botanist L.M.A. du Petit-Thouars spent nearly a decade studying plants in Mauritius, also visiting Madagascar. He published the results in many books, including "Histoire des végétaux recueilles dans les isles australes d'Afrique" (1806) ➡️ https://t.co/mXfwABlqg9

The Dodo was a large bird from the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar, closely related to modern day pigeons. Due to the lack of natural predators, they didn’t need use of flight or defense, which lead to their decline when humans arrived and introduced invasive species
