You might have heard people describe the dodo as a clumsy bird that disappeared forever hundreds of years ago, however new research suggests that might not have been the case. A new study has found that the famous animal was likely smarter and more interesting than people often give it credit for. Scientists have discovered that the dodo's brain was a normal size for a bird of its size, when compared with other similar feathered species. The findings also suggest the dodo may have been a bird that was active at night.
