Amazing News!!!! Last known living Dodo was just discovered by Society Regent, Lady M. Wong!!

Recently on the tiny island of Mauritius just east of Madagascar. While on a biological fact finding expedition to gather specimens for the Royal Museum, Lady Wong, and her team came upon a seriously wounded female of the species Raphus cucullatus. Working with great skill the intrepid band of explorers nursed the specimen back to health. 

We are proud to say that the specimen is currently doing quite well.  Much to the surprise of the team, when making record of the local flora and other fauna, they discovered that the female Dodo bird was guarding a small clutch of 3 fertile eggs. With careful husbandry and luck we at the society hope to be the first to bring the Dodo back from the brink. 

Be sure to come back for news from our other expedition teams that are currently on safari at the four points of the compass.
