EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mauritian Dodo, a compact bird with a unique and distinctive appearance. With its curved, brown bill and brown feet, this side view of the extinct species offers a glimpse into its natural history. The dodo's plumage is depicted in shades of grey, emphasizing its terrestrial nature and flightless capabilities. The illustration technique used to recreate this magnificent creature brings it back to life on a white background. Standing tall in profile view, the Mauritian Dodo's large size is evident as it stands alone in the frame. Once native to Mauritius, this avian species tragically became extinct due to human activities. Its beak played an important role in its evolution and adaptation to its environment. Now only found through archaeological remains and reconstructions like this one, the Mauritian Dodo serves as a reminder of our impact on wildlife. This print captures not only the physical attributes of the bird but also evokes curiosity about its existence and what led to its demise. It invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty and fragility of our planet's biodiversity while igniting interest in ornithology and zoology. Dorling Kindersley has skillfully presented this image from their collection without mentioning any commercial use intentions or affiliations with companies.
