Abstract

3D scan of a plaster cast of a dodo skull with skin of the original in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Due to their life on an island ecosystem, they were not exposed to larger predators and evolved a complete absence of fear of humans, which made them easy prey and led to their extinction within 100 years after their discovery in 1598 by a Dutch fleet led by Van Warwjick.
