While the flightless dodo has long since died out—because humans ate the shit out of them—its memory lives on in our imagination. So much about the quirky birds—which were endemic only to the island of Mauritius—remains a mystery, but new research has finally provided some insights into the dodo’s reproductive habits and life cycle. A study published today in Scientific Reports analyzed the structure of 2. “We propose that the dodo bred around August and that the rapid growth of the chicks enabled them to reach a robust size before the austral summer or cyclone season.

Raphus cucullatus) collected from various places on Mauritius. Some of the bones were from juvenile dodos, which curiously contained a lot of tissue known as fibrolamellar bone. Fibrolamellar bone is typically found in rapidly- growing dinosaurs, birds, and mammals, so the researchers suggest dodos grew very quickly until they reached their sexual maturity. Some bones contained unusual cavities, which the team believes is linked to the dodo’s molting, or natural shedding of its feathers. The researchers say that this, along with other observations from dodo bones, could actually help explain the timing of dodos’ reproductive cycle.“We propose that the dodo bred around August and that the rapid growth of the chicks enabled them to reach a robust size before the austral summer or cyclone season,” the researchers wrote. Histological evidence [based on microscopic analysis of tissue] of molting suggests that after summer had passed, molt began in the adults that had just bred; the timing of molt derived from bone histology is also corroborated by historical descriptions of the dodo by mariners.”Unfortunately, there’s still so much about dodos we don’t know, because they’ve been gone for nearly 3.
