What I’ve read says they could get up to a metre tall. A metre tall is pretty big! I was surprised by that number too, because I saw a stuffed dodo in the Natural History Museum the last time I was in London, and I’m pretty sure that one wasn’t a metre tall. Maybe a metre is the maximum height, and not all dodos were this size, taking their age into consideration (for example) or time spent in captivity. I’m not sure!
Well-cared-for captive animals tend to be larger than their wild relatives, for a variety of reasons, so it wouldn’t be surprising for Dodo to reach, or even surpass the textbook maximum.
The comics on this website range in rating from all ages to teen. Content warnings include some occasional mild language and some innuendo, and some not-very-graphic violence.
Were dodos actually this size? I thought they were a bit smaller.
…Or is this a Dire Dodo?
