The Dodo Lives!

Artist Harri Kallio has a nice writeup on Slate.com, which includes a slideshow of numerous photographs of reconstructed Dodo birds taken in their once-native habitat of Mauritius.  You may recall that Dodo birds have long been extinct and that their exact appearance is a matter of debate, but Kallio has made some reasonably life-like constructions, which have a strange, surreal quality to them--just on the edge of believable.  This work is appearing at the Bonni Benrubi Gallery in New York, so if you are there braving the erratic weather, take a gander. 

Here's a link to Slate's article.
