Dutch and British researchers just announced a plan to unearth new information on the iconic bird that represents extinct animals everywhere.
Leaders of the Dodo Research Program will go to Mauritius (a remote island in the Indian Ocean) to investigate a mass grave full of remains belonging to the long-extinct flightless bird.

Update: the news page and the video are no longer available.
