The Dodo, (Raphus cucullatus), one of the three species that constituted the family Raphidae, was thought to be extinct by 1681 (17th century). The dodo is frequently cited as one of the most well-known examples of human-induced extinction.
It now appears that a mutant relative of the Dodo, the DumDum (Bad Comboverus Buttmuncheus) is alive and thriving in Palm Beach, Florida. In a state filled with Palmetto bugs, alligators, snakes, humidity and (ick) the DeSantis creature, who’s going to care about one more slimy DumDum?
(Editor’s Note): Fred acknowledges this is a cheesy post, again slamming the world’s most slam-able cretin, but he has a dental appointment today and has to take it out on someone.
