The african dodo...

And you thought the dodo was extinct...little did you know that its now a fish in Mali. Its been a side research project that I've gotten roped into as its been this crazy mystery ever since Ian saw a piece of its skin in the market. Just when we thought the mystery had been solved(its been 2 weeks now!) as identifying it as a type of puffer fish(we thought it was a freshwater ray at first), its gone again.

In searching for it again this morning, we did come across this wacky site...just thought I would share.:
