When did the dodo become extinct?

It was a stupid bird, and that is what the Portuguese called it when one of their world-ranging expeditions found it on the remote Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. In Portuguese, dodo means stupid or silly. An Englishman visiting Mauritius in 1628 reported the name in a letter, writing of "a strange fowle, which I had at the Iland mauritius, called by the portingalls a DoDo." The clumsy, squat birds were good eating and could not fly, so they could not escape capture by hungry sailors. Three or four dodos were said to be enough to feed a hundred men. It is not surprising that before the seventeenth century was over dodos were extinct.

No.  There was a Quaaga-like horsie that was reconstructed by selectively breeding Plains Zebra to create an animal that looked just like the Quagga, and given birth to by a surrogate Zebra mommie, but other than that it has remained extinct.\n\nThe last one died in the Amsterdam zoo in 1883.

no.  the more complex an organism, the easier they go extinct.\n\ntrilobites lasted around 300 million years; a not-so-complex animal.\n\ndinosaurs lasted about 150 million years; more complex, shorter reign.\n\nhumans, we haven't even come CLOSE to how long dinosaurs we around, we'll go extinct soon enough.

Here is a good site for statistics. It says that the population growth has been diminished to nearly ZERO, because of AIDS related deaths. \nhttp://www.prcdc.org/summaries/aidsinafrica/aidsinafrica.html

Forty five Globicephala melas {pilot whales } beached themselves on Fort George Island Florida back in the winter of 1978. Seven of my trusted Zoo students spent three days pulling them back out to the ocean. We were very tired and we burned out two 200 horse power outboards. BUT we saved about half of the whales......

This is a question they're still trying to answer. The sparrows have died off or disappeared very quickly, and there are movements trying to find out what happened and see if they can reverse the trend.\n\nThe cockney sparrow is extinct. The house sparrow that once was so widespread has also experienced a decline in numbers, with a 59% drop between 1994 and 2000. Some blame the car and its pollution for the decline; others blame predators such as cats and magpies. Still others suggest that inhabitants who "neaten their yard" excessively are guilty of eliminating nesting grounds. Whatever the cause, the public has begun to take notice, however, and preservation attempts are on the rise.

It is, but its just not news worthy anymore. Here in the UK the DEFRA are still monitoring birds that have died suddenly, particluarly wild birds such as swans and ducks.

Since 1989, not a single Golden Toad has been seen anywhere in the world, and it is classified by the IUCN as extinct.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Toad\nhttp://www.bagheera.com/inthewild/van_anim_gldntoad.htm\nhttp://www.a2zlanguages.com/Costarica/Monteverde/goldentoad.htm

Sure. See http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/dodo.htm - - they say they have the "most complete" collection of authentic biological (skeletal) samples from a (once) living dodo. See also their Dodo DNA research program - - http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/acdodo.htm\n\nRegards,\n\nRex Bickers\nFloyds Knobs, Indiana

in france it was just refurbished within the last five years. can not remember exactly where. but they drag rabbit meat on a rope at 35 mph for the cheetahs to chase. so they can simulate the hunt. saw it on animal planet i think.
