So much about the quirky birds.

A study published today in Scientific Reports analyzed the structure of 2. Raphus cucullatus) collected from various places on Mauritius. Some of the bones were from juvenile dodos, which curiously contained a lot of tissue known as fibrolamellar bone. Fibrolamellar bone is typically found in rapidly- growing dinosaurs, birds, and mammals, so the researchers suggest dodos grew very quickly until they reached their sexual maturity. Some bones contained unusual cavities, which the team believes is linked to the dodo’s molting, or natural shedding of its feathers. The researchers say that this, along with other observations from dodo bones, could actually help explain the timing of dodos’ reproductive cycle.“We propose that the dodo bred around August and that the rapid growth of the chicks enabled them to reach a robust size before the austral summer or cyclone season,” the researchers wrote.

But if knowledge is truly power, then every study about these birds is a bit of justice served.
