We have more mammoths than dodos
It makes sense when you think of population size and location (lots of mammoths stuck in permafrost, not so many dodos on a tropical island) but it still feels weird that we have more preserved remains* of something that (largely) died out over 10,000 years ago than we do of something that died out <400 years ago. I guess there are plenty of things that have died out in my lifetime that we have few samples of. * As in preserved soft tissues rather than skeletons
The only soft tissue specimen of a dodo in the world. Quite mad that this is all we have left; this, a few casts and some skeletons.

From a cracking series of animal portraits by Troy Moth.
I can’t believe how excited I am about Chris Pratt’s velociraptor biker gang (if it was anyone other than Chris Pratt I’d probably think it was ludicrous).
This trailer has a bit of a Dawn of the Planet of the Dinosaurs vibe.
