I Am Sure We All Know Of The Dodo,

the flightless bird,


screen shot credit PBS that lived in the forests of Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean, to give the bird its proper name Raphus cucullatus, we have featured the bird a few times in the past, and made mention of a company called Colossal Biosciences, which was founded in 2021 by entrepreneurs Ben Lamm and George Church, the company aim to bring back species that are extinct like the mammoth, Tasmanian tiger and of course the Dodo,

the last of which has caught the attention of 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson, according to Bloomberg, the New Zealand-born filmmaker and his wife Fran Walsh put the sum of $10 million towards the Texas company Colossal Biosciences, Jackson's investment is also aimed at stopping species in New Zealand from facing extinction, his publicist told Bloomberg, so I guess at some time in the future the phrase of mine, "deader than a dodos do-do" will no longer be valid! for the full article have a look here.
