Yes, I seem to remember having seen that documentary

The livestock we have cannot be compared to wild animals because they have been "domesticated", which means nothing less than changed. And that takes time, which the Dodo did not have between settling humans and extinction of their species.

@@mflax4331 what are you talking about? The dodo bird was so domesticated because of its natural environment they didn't need to domesticate it. All they had to do was capture them and feed them. Just like chickens. Scramble dodo eggs. And since the 50 people of that time went extinct also that should answer the question. Dodo smart...human dumb

@@greenandgold2185 this is not minecraft, lmao capture it and feed it 🤣🤣🤣 problem solved, lol

@@greenandgold2185 Do you know the meaning of the term "domesticated"? Your answer seems to hint that you don't know it.

@@malter87 so then just put a fence around all the fruit they are eating pick the fruit feed them capture them kill them eat them breed them just like the real world. We domesticate wild animals by feeding them and making them dependent on us and not fear us. I'm sure there are many other Minecraft referencing comments on here to associate with. My wife said it reminded her of the movie WALL-E our kids watched. (The part about getting to fat to fly)

There is the kakapo, a giant docile parakeet, but no one has one of them as a pet because it's very specialized to live in an isolated island in New Zealand, maybe dodos would be very hard to breed elsewhere as the kakapo is, who knows.

@@deathtrooper2048 none but Emus reeked havoc on the farms and they’re allies, way to defend the crops.

@@mr.mystery6429 Nah humans lost against the mighty emus on my book

Nice idea, but the dodo was essentially inedible to humans. It was referred to as the nauseating bird because no amount of cooking could make it edible.

Well consider we were not the only animals introduced to the island, keeping them as pets would be impossible and pointless to the people of that era, they still have no way of detecting danger which means if you don't want your dodo pet to die a horrible death you'd have to keep watch 24/7 because they are even defenceless against rats that spread from the ships which is impossible since they have y'know a job, people also were not keeping pets for emotional support like we do today, pets back then often serves a purpose, like hunting of herding or shows off your wealth, and dodo fits none of those. And before you ask, yes they could not be kept as farming animal either, imagine how hard it is to keep 1 and multiply it by a couple dozen

@@thegreatestleaderstalin3369 Ark is a game

I dont think they could fly

The shoebill is the closest to a badass dino looking bird id say. Also the one that coyote peterson showed off with it's blue skin and a horn.

If only they could fly

It wasn’t just the dodo, all the birds driven extinct look so cool and I wish I could have seen them in their day. I always wish I could haves saved the poor devils

Do you still live there? What is it like to visit when traveling is possible of course.

Would you be OK with deextincting the Dodo by the occult power, that Science will bring us to?

@@aleisterlavey9716 I am a Mauritian too and I would be ok with that

Same mate, born and live in Mauritius. Top content

@@aleisterlavey9716 Don't take my word for it, but I think there has been attempts at extracting viable DNA from fossils, but not very successfully from what I know. But yeah, I would totally love to live to see the Dodo resurrected. Although the birds would still be confronted by the same issues that plagued them in the first place, their habitat would have to be well preserved and this could be quite high maintenance too. However, it could also mean a very unique creature that could bring eco-tourists and scientists to the island, which could in return fund this venue.

They could have become like chicken. So there would be no danger in eating them cuz there would be many of them

true, they could have domesticated and raised them.

they didnt make the cut because we already had other animals adapted for this purpose.

@@billyumbraskey8135 😢😢😢😢😢

They may or may not have even been tameable though, like I don’t know if they ever bred in captivity

If spreading into fossil species it would also be interesting to talk about some of the European dinosaur fossils since most of "continental Europe" was a series of archipelagos and the fossils included small dinosaurs. The apex predator seems to have been the giant Azhdarchid pterosaurs. Its rare for islands to get fossilized like that but its a fascinating snapshot at island biogeography through deep time. (for context there has never been a European continent mainland Europe is composed of island arcs smooshed between the greater Eurasia and Africa with the parts of the the microcontinent Avalonia getting split between the two continents, today split between North America & Afro-Eurasia(British Isles parts of France, and the Iberian Peninsula + Morocco)

Was florensiensis even really the result of dwarfism? How big were other hominids of the same time period?

@@chris1141987 Well, that depends on the time period. As far as I remember, the earliest remnants of Homo Floresiensis are from ~700,000ya and the latest from ~70,000ya, that's a pretty big time window. But (according to wikipedia): -Neanderthals: 1.64-1.68m (males), 1.52-1.56m (females) -Average Homo Sapiens at the same time was slightly taller than average Neanderthal -Couldn't quicky find any 'average height' for Homo Erectus, but shortest adults were a bit shorter than 1.5m, while the tallest were about 1.8m -Homo Heidelbergensis on average was 1.69m for males and 1.58 for females Homo Floresiensis was about 1-1.1m tall, which is a bit shorter than male bonobos (1.2m) and noticeably shorter than chimpanzees (1.5m for males). So I wouldn't rule out the island dwarfism entirely.

That's what I was looking for. Great video but I was hoping to find some mention to that

@@Thomk121 I’m not really sure which one of you I should reply to. I didn’t get the impression that Atlas Pro was implying that it was a modern swan. He didn’t say that it was or that it wasn’t.

Dodo+turkey=chicken *Yes*

I mean... yeah that does actually make sense tho

@TheDoge 777 Well the posture and way the dodo stands combined with the feathers (ignore the back ones) and beak of a turkey does somwhat make a chicken

I own chickens, they’re almost a year but they are definitely fatter and plumper than a dodo and a turkey, especially their chest/crop area.

If just some Monarch, Aristocrat or who else was Bitchy Richy then, would have gathered a big enough population in their private zoological collection... I just imagine all the Nobles having pet dodos at home, that they put in costumes, because it was in the past, nobody cared how the animal felt and they were rich & bored the whole Day. A Dodo dressed as Shakespeare or Julius Ceasar brings a lot of fun in your home, especially when you don't have any Internet... even with Internet, imagine all the Dodo videos... Sorry I can't help, but I imagine of a bucket of Dodo Drum Sticks with 3 pound French Fries and a pint of Dutch Mayonnaise 😋 I just say, that chicken won't go extinct soon (apart of some rare old breeds, that aren't genetically fit for commercially industrial Producing 🥴😢😭)

Ah, then we could have had the big Dodo Mania instead of tulips!

Breed them!? But they were seriously stupid birds

@@beezlebub7847 they were not stupid, they were friendly. Dodos were too friendly for this cruel world

@@beezlebub7847 Guinea Fowl aren't exactly smart either, even compared to other domesticated birds but people still farm them extensively. So intelligence is not really a factor here.

Here in the Netherlands we use 'dappere dodo' (brave dodo) for someone who is fearless but obviously incompetent.

I have definitely heard 'dumb as a dodo' or even 'you dodo bird' for doing something stupid (Midwest US). That being said, I haven't really heard it in a while. I don't know if that's because I got older or if it has gone out of fashion. But I have never heard 'dead as a dodo'.

Once black swans were used the same as "when pigs fly" phrase to describe something that didn't exist 👍 Until actual black swans were found in Australia!

Those expressions have 'gone the way of the dodo' Someone mentioned 'when pigs fly', well they have, haven't you heard the news: Swine Flu.

They have other flightless birds in New Zealand, like the kakapo which is endangered. The kakapo can't fly, but they think they can, so they climb up on things, jump out with flapping wings, and fall flat.

I recently saw a real moa fossil, that shit was fucking gigantic. It's leg bones were as big as a human and it had huge gashes cut into it's back from the haast's eagle that hunted it. I hate that they are extinct, but god am I relieved that I won't ever see a living one in person.

I thought they were from a random pacific island, like Fiji or Samoa

The really sad thing about Moas is that it happened so recently as New Zealand was one of the last places on Earth to be colonized by humans with the first humans to arrive their the Maori arriving in the 14th century AD. It is hard to verify but it even seems quite probable that there were a few Haast's eagles left when Europeans arrived based on a combination of Maori's stories of being hunted by giant Eagles and one early European explorers reports of some big eagles that attacked him. In this case it would suggest that the eagles may have adapted to the loss of their natural bipedal prey by switching to the new bipedal prey that replaced them. Shame we will never really be able to verify it but the descriptions of the birds appearances matches what would be expected based on their evolutionary relationships with other birds of prey. Still the close resemblance in terms of size and build between humans and Moa from a giant predatory birds perspective wouldn't have been much aside from humans lacking the fatty nutritious liver. If that was what happened then I would like to think they got a bit of natural revenge via the events which drove the Southern Maori culture responsible for hunting the Moa to extinction to their own extinction.
