New research suggests that the dodo, an extinct bird whose name has entered popular culture as a symbol of stupidity, was actually fairly smart. Scans of a dodo skull show that contrary to its reputation, the extinct bird was likely as intelligent as its close relative, the highly trainable pigeon.
"They disappeared in less than 100 years after humans arrived. Today, they are almost exclusively known for becoming extinct, and I think that’s why we’ve given them this reputation of being dumb,”said Eugenia Gold, the lead author of the paper, a research associate and recent graduate of the Museum's Richard Gilder Graduate School, and an instructor in the Department of Anatomical Sciences at Stony Brook University.
Pictured is a model of a dodo that will be on display in the Museum’s upcoming exhibition about the relationships between birds and dinosaurs, Dinosaurs Among Us.
