The dodo is a flightless bird, which is found only in Mauritius. With a fat body and a huge mouth. /kloc-In the late 6th century, European colonists came to Mauritius. Dodo, which can't fly or run fast, soon became the main food source for Europeans to come to the island.

Manatee is a large aquatic herbivorous mammal. It is fat and slow-moving, its forelimbs are like meat, and its hind limbs have completely disappeared. It mainly eats plants in shallow seas and bays and slow-moving rivers. In the early days, manatees were not only fresh and delicious, but also made into wear-resistant leather.
