Synopsis
Series of talks by Sir David Attenborough on the natural histories of creatures and plants from around the world.
The dodo is the caricature of extinction. This turkey-sized flightless pigeon lived on a remote island and was slaughtered by seafarers for its meat. The same fate has met other flightless species. Can we learn this lesson from history?
