Dodo


 * For the companion of the First Doctor, see Dodo Chaplet.

The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a type of large, flightless pigeon that was found only on Mauritius.

Biology
The Dodo had a large curved beak, a featherless face, a curly grey tail and yellow tips to its wings. (NSA: The Last Dodo)

History
The Dodo became extinct in 1681, having been wiped out by humans who had introduced species like pigs.

The last Dodo was saved and kept in the Museum of the Last Ones. This specimen was cloned by Eve and used to plant bombs on Earth which would destroy the planet. The original Dodo was returned by the Tenth Doctor to Mauritius. (NSA: The Last Dodo)

Another Dodo was contained in the TARDIS Zoo. Ace found it while exploring the ship. She let it out, but it bit her and fled down the corridors. She caught it and returned it to the zoo. (ST: Echo)
