forgotten species

Close to the paleontology museum, there is a roundabout where only forgotten species are featured. Among dinosaurs, tasmanian wolf and other never-to-be-seen- again animals, Anatole choosed the Dodo.
For those who do not know, this bird who could not fly and was really slow and friendly, only lived on the Mauritius Island. He was massively slaughtered by sailors at the begining of the 17th century for food purpose.
