Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration.
Reason: The tail appears to have been curled over the back in life, according to most authors, so this image is partially inaccurate. In life, the nostrils were also vertical slits, rather than horizontal.
You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the
image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
Summary
DescriptionFrohawk Dodo.png
English: Plate 24 from Rothschild's Extinct birds (1907). The
dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. This was based on the picture by Roelandt Savery in Berlin, but the wings, tail and bill have been based partly on Pierre Witthoos' picture of the white Dodo, and partly from anatomical examination.
