通称:渡渡鸟
物种:渡渡鸟目
时代:全新世晚期
食性:食草动物
性情:无意识型
野生
渡渡鸟可能是我这辈子见过的最蠢的生物了。它主要在岛上的海滩边游荡,从灌木中找浆果吃,然后被各种食肉动物吃掉。如果没有渡渡鸟,整个岛上的食物链就会分崩离析。 渡渡鸟的亚种发展了一种难以置信的聪明方法来保存自己:它们会不断交配。我确信它们可以在被生下的一周内长大成熟。这是唯一使他们在岛上维持高数量的特征了。
家养
虽然渡渡鸟可以被驯服,但几乎没有理由让人类去驯养它们。它的低载重使其无法成为驮兽,它也无法提供大量食物,而且它们实在太笨了,无法展示友谊。不过你可以把它可以作为最后的食物来源,所以可以保存一些以备非常之需。
Common name: Dodo
Species: Raphus replicare
Time: Late Holocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Oblivious
Wild
Raphus replicare (more commonly known as the Dodo Bird) is quite possibly the dumbest creature I've ever seen in my life. It wanders around the beaches of the Island, pecking berries off bushes, and being eaten by all manner of carnivore. Without the Dodo, the whole Island's food chain would disintegrate. This subspecies of the Dodo has developed an unbelievably clever way to sustain itself: they mate constantly. I'm fairly convinced that they reach full maturity within a week of being born. This is the only trait keeping them populous on the island.
Domesticated
While it can be done, there is almost no reason to domesticate a Raphus replicare. It cannot carry enough to be a beast of burden, it does not provide much food, and it's too stupid to show companionship. It could work as a last-ditch food source, though, so I suppose keeping some around for "lean times" has a certain logic.
