History has had different theories about the extinction of the dodo.

One theory is that the extinction of the dodo was due to overhunting by humans.

Biologists have painted a picture of the late 16th century when Europeans with shotguns and hounds arrived in Mauritius, and the dodo, which could not fly or run fast, was doomed.

When these Europeans arrived on the island, the stupid dodo became their main source of food due to the long distance and difficult supply.

Since then, there have been guns and dogs, birds and eggs on the island, and a large number of dodos have been killed, even the young birds and eggs have not been spared.

In the beginning, Europeans could hunt thousands of dodos a day, but due to overkilling, they soon killed fewer and fewer dodos per day, sometimes only a few per day.

There is also a theory that the extinction of the dodo came from a human derivative.

The dodos had no natural predators on the island, and their reproduction rate was among the highest among birds, but their numbers did decline sharply due to human hunting, but they were far from extinct.

The reason why the dodo will eventually become extinct is entirely because of another creature that "moored" on the island with the human ship - rats!

These rat-eyed creatures attack the eggs of the dodo, and they eat and destroy the hard-earned reproduction crystals of the dodo, extinguishing the hope of the dodo's survival from the roots, causing the tragedy of the extinction of this stupid bird.

There is, of course, a third theory, that the extinction of the dodo was caused by natural disasters – just like the dinosaurs. However, I personally think that this is a European behavior that is not enough to win people's trust.

All in all, due to a variety of factors, the dodo fell into total extinction at the end of the seventeenth century, probably around 1693.

The last dodo died at the hands of the Dutch colonists, and its remains were donated to the museum, and its skull has been preserved to this day, silently indictating the atrocities inflicted on their own communities by European colonists......

That's why we went to Mauritius with the aim of finding at least one pair of dodos of the opposite sex and sending them to suitable, similar environments – like Sao Tome and Principe on the west coast of Africa, like an island at a latitude in North America, and then Taiwan.

Of course, this is an afterthought, and the first priority is to find the dodo—the living dodo.

The heavy rain on the island stopped in the middle of the night, and the bears and bats hiding in the depths of the caverns were silenced by the sentinel's watch.

They are like a torrential rain, they come and go as fast as they come, they bring nothing and they take nothing with them.

Stepping out of the cave, I was greeted by the refreshing scent of earth, and through the gaps in the trees, I could faintly see a rainbow on the horizon.

The breeze blows on his face, and it also teases the grass on the ground and sways gently. The new mushrooms that emerge from under the trunks of the trees, the squirrels and hares that scurry between the flowers, make the whole jungle like a huge fairy tale world, full of life power.

The old face of the card is slightly red—there is actually a lot of subjective assumption in this way—his face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and the fact that he blushes is completely a conjecture artificially added from his facial expressions.

"Yesterday, Captain, I'm sorry." The pace of his speech was slower than yesterday, and it seemed that he did feel guilty and affected his performance.

I squinted at this second-generation African official, and snorted coldly: "Tell the point! ”

What the buckle said was stumbling, but all in all, in short, the bats on this island were not aggressive, and they hurt people when they saw blood.

He had also heard from his elders that there was a guardian spirit on this island, a guardian and punisher of the entire island. I guess it's this giant bear. It is said that this big guy is very human, and generally does not attack other animals, and yesterday I don't know if it was stimulated by something that caused the ferocity, in short, the implication of his words is - we won the jackpot!

Well, if you hit the jackpot, you hit the jackpot. I shook my head with a wry smile helplessly, and squinted at the card in Hua Mei's hulu: "So today, can we go to find the dodo?" ”

The head of the buckle card is like a drum: "Okay! Good! ”

Packing up their belongings, the team gathered in the cave and buckled up, ready to go again. Suddenly, Hua Mei pointed behind her and exclaimed in surprise! The special combat team members raised their muskets vigilantly and aimed them at the direction of the hole behind them!

It's the giant bear! Blinded, it slowly crawled out of the hole dragging an injured hind leg. When we climbed to a position about ten meters away from us, he stopped, and looked at me fixedly, without saying anything special.

The players were a little nervous, but not scared. Yesterday in the dark, in a narrow cave, under the attack of bats, they were still able to defeat and repel each other, and today there is no reason to be afraid.

But when I looked into the eyes of the giant bear, it suddenly moved to my heart, and it seemed that it was not coming to attack us, but to ...... Negotiate?

A thought flashed through my mind. Its eyes were as pure as water, not full of murderous intent like yesterday, but there was endless coldness in its purity, as if it was not hostile, it was definitely not friendly.

Thinking of this, I raised my right hand slightly, pressed it down, and said, "Put the gun down." ”

Naturally, the team members were forbidden, but they were more or less surprised by my decision - in the face of a fierce enemy, no, enemy bear, why did I let them lay down their weapons?

I looked at the bear for a long time, and suddenly said, "I don't know if you understand, but I have no ill intentions!" For yesterday......"

I pointed to its leg and said sincerely, "You attacked us first, and we were forced to be helpless." ”

The bear still didn't react, but I always had the illusion that the coldness in its eyes seemed to have dissipated a little, and there seemed to be a hint of warmth in that purity.

I don't know if it's my own crankiness, but since this conversation doesn't irritate it, I'll assume it works.

"I didn't come to the island to kill...... Did you attack us yesterday because you were attacked by humans before? As I spoke, I suddenly saw the dense scars on its body, and the wounds on its legs yesterday were absolutely insignificant compared to some of them.

In a trance, I seemed to see the huge head of the giant bear twitch slightly, and when I came back to my senses, I saw that it was still staring at me like that, like a statue, not at all like a living being.

I rubbed my eyes vigorously and saw that it was still the same, as if listening, and I continued: "I know that there is a bird on this island, well, we call them dodos." Well, that's what they call it! Woo~Woo~"

"I know that the people who came here have brutally hunted them, and I know that if they continue to be killed like this, maybe they will be extinct in the future! So I'm here to take a few dodos with me, four! Four is enough! Maybe I can bring some of their eggs and find them a peaceful home! ”

"Home! Do you understand? I want to give them a space to live, even if one day, all the dodos here are extinct, at least in another place, they still have offspring to reproduce! ”

I spoke at length to the bear, and I didn't know if it understood, but I said it anyway, and with all sincerity.

Because that's exactly what I think. On the earth in the future, every short period of time, a creature will be completely extinct. There's not much I can do, but now that I'm sure I can do it, why don't I do it?

Uncle Suzuki...... Yes, this man who raised me and pushed me into the abyss has always been whispering in my ear: Do not take evil as small, do not take good as small.

Maybe I'm just doing a small and insignificant thing, but for the world...... I don't know what it will bring, but I think it can't be a bad thing!

Even if one day I will leave, or one day I will die, I will at least leave my own traces and my own things in the world!

When I had finished speaking, the bear was still staring at me, and I was staring at it without flinching, one man and one bear, as if isolated from the world around them, staring at each other like this.

Suddenly, the giant bear nodded, yes! It nodded! This action caused an uproar among the people around!

Yes, animals have been trained - especially advanced mammals such as monkeys, dogs, bears, and tigers, and after long and rigorous training, they can make some anthropomorphic movements, but this giant bear, it is clearly living on a deserted island! What's going on?

The next action of the giant bear made us even more shocked! It raised its right hand—forgive me, it was moving too much like a tall and mighty human—and pointed in one direction, then looked at me and limped in that direction.

What can I say? What does this bear want to do? Hua Mei whispered on the side: "It seems to want to take us somewhere!" ”

I silently stared at the back of the giant bear, and my heart was touched, maybe as Hua Mei said, the giant bear is guiding us! Where is it taking us?

The bear walked more than 20 meters, and when he saw that we were not following, he stopped and looked back at me. The look in his eyes clearly said, "What are you inking?" Not yet to keep up! ”

Girl, I was actually despised by a bear! Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it! Walking!

So I gritted my teeth slightly and ordered in a low voice, "Keep up with it!" Pay attention to the surroundings, and don't shoot blindly without direct threats! ”

Everyone received the order, and I took the lead and followed in the footsteps of the giant bear!

When the bear saw us coming, he turned his head back and continued to walk forward.

It's really leading the way!

Along the way, we have crossed almost the entire island and seen the truly strange and magnificent beauty of the island!

Needless to say, the countless fragrant flowers and green grasses make us amazed by the animals that stand aside and stop to watch, not afraid of life at all!

Especially a pair of groundhogs, these two chubby guys crawled out of the dirt, drooped their front paws and stared at us blankly for a while, and then they didn't know what to do, and they ran up to me, stretched out their front paws at me, and screamed at me with their characteristic voices!

I stopped and looked at the fat guys, and the bear in front of me also stopped and looked back at me. I've never had a pet, so I don't know what these two balls are for.

Instead, Hua Mei pursed her lips and looked at them, and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid these two cute creatures are hungry!" Qilan! ”

Hungry? Before I could speak, Hua Mei took out two apples from the backpack behind her, one of whom ...... No, a groundhog threw one over!

When the two round balls saw the apple, they screamed twice, then rushed up and hugged them, sat down on the spot, and chewed desperately!

Obviously, they haven't eaten this kind of foreign thing, and the food is really hearty!

Hua Mei saw that they were cute and cute, and picked up one from behind with a smile. Who knew that guy didn't care at all, and still concentrated on destroying the apple in his hand!

This stupid and cute appearance caused everyone to laugh for a while, and Hua Mei's eyes were full of caution: "Qilan, why don't we bring these two guys back too!" I love them so much! ”

After saying that, he looked at me with pleading eyes. I smiled helplessly: "These two guys are only afraid that they can eat better than people...... Forget it, if they don't resist, then take it! ”

Hua Mei happily, one in one hand, held all the two balls in her arms!

After these two guys ate the apple, they didn't make a fuss, so they couldn't get down on Hua Mei!

Hua Mei smiled: "You guys call Yuanyuan and Qiuqiu!" Anyway, if you're so fat, it's not a bully! ”

Yuanqiu lazily raised his hand and made a "gesture" to Hua Mei, I just meant "OK", and there was a layer of meaning that it was okay to be full! I rubbed it, the animals on this island are really ......

After solving the small episode in front of me, I looked back at the giant bear, and there was a hint of relief in its eyes!

Gratified? What the hell is this? Could it be ...... What just happened was an assessment? And we..... Qualified?

The bear turned his head and continued to crawl forward, but we had no choice but to follow.

After walking for about an hour, the giant bear suddenly stopped, raised his right front paw again, and pointed down the hill!

I walked up quickly and looked down the hill! I was so scared that I jumped up!

Actually...... All over the mountains are - dodos!
