506 Questions

How did the dodo bird differ from birds of today?

Dodos are a flightless bird that is related to species common today like pigeons and doves. It had evolved from flying ancestors and lost the ability to fly. Aside from that it was the same as the majority of modern birds. Flightlessness is not unknown in modern birds (penguin, emus, rheas, ostriches) so this is not a unique trait.

How do You prononced quipu a baby Dodo?

"Quipu" is pronounced as "kee-poo." It refers to an ancient Incan device made of knotted strings used for record-keeping. If you're referring to a baby dodo, it would simply be called a "dodo chick," and "dodo" is pronounced as "doh-doh."

Who is hamza ansar?

Hamza ansar is the father of the people who wrote the previous answer...

He is also a hamster.

Hamza Ansar is private property. No part of him may be used, reproduced, mated with, sniffed, destroyed, tampered with, or eaten without express written permission except in the case of brief, possibly coded quotations embodied in critical articles, reviews, subpeonas, Tamil film subtitles and arrest forms.

Allegedly birthed in the city of Lahore (of which few shady witnesses can be found who are willing to testify), Hamza Ansar is a mysterious entity who has been called an animal, a vegetable, a mineral, a criminal, a bestseller, a corpse, a smell, a fictional character, an unreliable narrator, a theatrical wonder, a dangerous documenter, a photogenic photographer, a lady, a gentleman, a rogue, a magnetic field, a dancer, a serial killer, a verb, and nearly always late for dinner by a great number of dubious authorities.

He is mostly molested by men, women, children and labradors because of his uncanny sexual self. Like the amazing Spider Man, the Hamza too has a Hamza-sense, which he uses to help those in need anywhere around him, especially if they need some sweet Hamza-loving.

Is the dodo faster than cheetah?

No. One reason is that the dodo is now extinct. Also, the cheetah is the fastest land animal. Some birds can fly faster than it, but the dodo would not have done so as it was flightless.

Why is dodo important?

The Dodo had no natural predators, and that being the case, it had never learned fear of other animals. When humans found the Dodo, it didn't hide, and certainly couldn't fly away. So, they were over hunted, and what wasn't hunted, was killed by the species that the pioneers of the day brought to the small island it inhabited, such as dogs, cats, pigs, and even rats. Not only did they kill the Dodo in large numbers, but they cut the forest down and burned it, in order to make farm land. The Dodo is a prime example of what can happen to any species when humans don't pay attention to the ecosystems they alter. Because the Dodo was killed off before anyone thought to consider the importance of what they were doing to the island and all the species that lived on it. The Dodo can serve as the wake up call for many areas, undergoing the same type of thoughtless development. Plus the Dodo bird is a valuable part of our history, we need to learn as much as possible from our part mistakes, to make sure we don't repeat them.

What does dodo mean?

Usually means a "moron" or something to that extent.

Dodo can mean moron. Or for example:

If they were to miss something that was right in front of them, they're a dodo.

My dog: she just sits there sometimes tilting her head from side to side. She's a dodo.

Me: I switch my binders right before lunch, and to forget my calculator that sits right at the top of my locker would make me a dodo. That shelf is almost right in front of my face.

Those are just a few examples. "Dodo" is a pretty flexible term sometimes. And to all you difficult people out there, it has nothing to do with the bird. (cough- Nadia Malik-cough)
