doodoo
我查了下字典,是大便或排泄的意思,但还有另外一个意思是关于绝种动物的,请问这是什么动物?
do we still have dinosaurs and doodoos?
应该是指dodo,即渡渡鸟,已于17世纪灭绝
The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius.Related to pigeons and doves,it stood about a meter tall,weighing about 20 kilograms (44 lb),living on fruit and nesting on the ground.
The dodo has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century.[1] It is commonly used as the archetype of an extinct species because its extinction occurred during recorded human history,and was directly attributable to human activity,hence the phrase "going the way of the Dodos."
The phrase "dead as a dodo" means undoubtedly and unquestionably dead,whilst the phrase "to go the way of the dodo" means to become extinct or obsolete,to fall out of common usage or practice,or to become a thing of the past.
