2:21 You meant to say descendants, not ancestors

We should start being nicer to dodos; they weren't stupid, just naive and probably curious.

He lives? HE LIVES!!

2:03 Wasn't that exactly what we did to get there?

1:32 YES I DO! TAXES EXIST THANKS TO HIM! F*CK HIS GOOFY SILLY AHH!

Oh my god I love this series

The dodo is a bird version of the quaka

How about a paleo myth about Smilodon social behavior? Also, I think if you ever decided to do one on T. rex, you should have a multi-part video as there are so many things to dispel about the Tyrant Lizard King.

when you are on sea for momths or years, dodo probably tasts good

to this day we arent even able to calculate the intelligence of ourselves very accurately. never mind a bird almost unknown to science hundreds of years ago.

most people dont even think about what they say when they use phrases like these. they have just heard them all their lives and dont think about what they even say

Jurassic fight club is a dinosaur mockumentary

Jurassic fight club is probably the worst dinosaur documentary I've ever seen

Imagine this-you're living on a tropical island, you have no threats, just living your life when one day a gargantuan hunk of wood appears at the beach and suddenly some strange, gigantic creatures start wondering the island, emiting strange noises to one another, creating fires that don't spread and leading smaller, fuzzier monsters whenever they go. Wouldn't you be curious as to what the hell those things even are?

If you weren’t a fan of this then the 4th won’t be any better for yah. A movie not only unnecessary but pointless really.

The animation in Bizarre dinosaurs is actually so ugly omg I know dino docs don't always have the best CGI, but good lord. It is up there with Jurassic fight club for the ugliest documentary.

Even back then, people knew the Dodo Bird was an exotic animal and would often keep them as pets or put them in Zoos. Eventually, all of these birds would be overfed, meaning they became fat and overweight. This is why so many depictions of Dodos are that big compared to wild Dodos, which were much more skinny. Not only explorers, but Pirates would have had some as pets since the 17th century and early 18th century was the golden age of piracy. 1630-1730 is what I go by.

Dodo - largest species on it's island. - survived many deadly drought and harsh time. - strong powerfull chad beak and legs. - able to outrun an human with ease. - had an important ecological role on it's island, making it a dominant species. - amongst the most intelligent animal on it's island behind parrots. Idiots: dodo was dumb and deserve to die. (Even there it's only fault was to be friendly toward us, and not being able to build nest out of the reach of rats, that's like saying native peoples were dumb cuz they weren't bulletproof).

I, I thought you were dead? Red Raptor: "My death was, greatly exaggerated"

It is infuriating how some people try to justify the extinction of some animals by claiming they are too dumb to survive and deserve to perish. That happens to pandas and koalas even though it is not true at all.

To be fair, the entire family of Columbidae has the stereotype of being stupid.

Pigeons being rats with wings is also a myth, by the way. Coined by Woody Allen

Fun fact: In czech language, dodo’s common name "blboun nejapný" literally translates to "crude fool", which has definitelly contributed to this myth by a large extent in Czechia.

I'm not sure what the exact source was anymore, but I read an article saying the dodo's were described as being very social towards each other as well. When a dodo was captured, sometimes fellow dodo's who witnessed it were angrily running towards the captors, resulting in them being captured as well. If that would be the case, that'd make it extra sad :(

I'm honestly glad to learn that the Dodo was actually pretty smart. I love pigeons, and learning these are basically land pigeons, It makes me sad that they're extinct.

Wait I thought you quit

I had heard the dodos could be cloned back from extinction witch is possible

Diplodocus tail whip plausibility next

Great breakdown of this long-lost bird that I previously didn't know the full story of. Happy Thanksgiving and its always nice to see another Paleo Myth while they're still here.

Why do youtube automatic captions censor Pachy?

It’s quite a shame really that non-native species wiped out the dodo bird

10:11 That's we all love ya RRW! xD

I wouldn’t say dumb. Just unfortunate.

I remember a documentary about dodos that went over everything talked about here and came to the same conclusions. Another thing they pointed out was that according to records the dodo was also rather ornery and snappish, it didn't fear humans but it didn't like them, either.

Sort of? Dodos are just named for their sound effect.

Paleo myth Ideas: 1.Did T. rex have wings? 2.Could Spinosaurus swim at all?

Frankly the title could well apply to certain members of the paleocommunity... *Cough paleo nerd*

I remember the wild Kratts did a time travel episode where they give dodo some justice

There’s a similar claim about Neanderthals being stupid and how it’s also a synonym for idiot, which is also not true as Neanderthals were just as intelligent as Sapiens.

Still waiting for a video that ends with "perhaps"

It sucks that the Dodo died

Idea for a myth buster: Is quetzalcoatlus capable of flying?

I thought you retired

no species truly lasts forever

3:34 victim blaming 😢🦤

That which does not grow decays, nature only selects for what’s best for circumstances not what’s objectively better, that’s why it took billions of years for us to evolve. also there intelligence didn’t really matter, it’s that, like all birds, they have a primitive two legged gait which is inferior to mammals, that’s why almost all flightless birds live in places without mammalian predators, the only exception being ostrich’s which are so skinny they provide little nutrients for predators so they prefer to hunt other animals instead of them.

Are you talking about the wild variant of the bird are you talking about the domestic turkey

Looks like dodos may not be the dumbest dinosaurs after all.

Another myth is that the Dodo was naturally fat and pudgy. This comes from the only drawing modeled off of a living bird, being that from an overfeed animal from a minagory owned by a Chinese noble.
