Description: Richard Owen's first reconstruction of the dodo's skeleton. It is too squat due to having been based on a painting by Roelant Savery which may have shown and overfed or stuffed bird. The small skeleton is the Samoan dove. Date: 1866. Source: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/193035#page/77/mode/1up. Author: James Erxleben.
