The dodo bird is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.

Scientists attribute many of the skeletal features that distinguish the dodo bird and the Rodrigues solitaire, its closest relative, from pigeons to their flightlessness.

The wooden tower stood tall and straight right in the center of the table. Doom, the dodo bird skeleton replica, went first, he gave the block a firm, but gently push. The tower swayed dangerously, but the block slid out smoothly.

Hoot, the barn owl skeleton replica, glided into position, with her face tilting a full one hundred and eighty degrees as she scanned the tower for the safest move. With absolute nightime percision, she used the tip of her beak to slide a loose block from the middle row without making a single sound.

Zambezi, the African penguin skeleton, tapped a block on the left side, but the entire tower tilted. Zambezi froze, holding his breath until the wooden blocks settled back into place.

Sunny, the California condor skeleton mounted replica, loomed over the table, leaned in close, and quickly pulled out a block.
