David Attenborough's Life Stories - The Dodo

Logo for David Attenborough's Life Stories - The Dodo

Series of talks by Sir David Attenborough on the natural histories of creatures and plants from around the world. The dodo is the caricature of extinction. This turkey-sized flightless pigeon lived on a remote island and was slaughtered by seafarers for its meat. The same fate has met other flightless species. Can we learn this lesson from history?
