The dodo couldn't fly and toddled on a stiff way. There aren't many bones preserved today, and only one complete skeleton. This is making it difficult to estimate the true proportions. By analyzing their bones has come up that the dodo probable wasn't a thick, clumsy bird at all, but looked more like the dodo on the left-hand picture. Our image of the dodo comes from old European drawings and accounts. It can be a romanticized version of the truth. The sailors who landed on Mauritius found much amusement in watching the clumsy dodo's behaviour.
