[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The 'Dodo' once lived on the islands of Mauritius, Reunion and Rodrigues as a big but 'unable to fly' bird and had no natural enemies.
He was very tame and friendly and therefor very welcomed by the early sailors and traders who passed these islands on their ways from Africa to Asia and back. Very soon men put another unique species on the list of extinct forms of liFe. Today they brew beer under the Dodo logo.
Cheers!
