DODO(EXTİNCT ANİMAL)
The dodo was a medium-large sized
flightless bird that was discovered on
the Island of Mauritius in the 1590s and
was declared extinct less than a century
later, in 1681. Despite the turkey-sized
body of the dodo, it is thought to have
been most closely related to
smaller birds such as doves and pigeons.
The dodo inhabited the tropical forests
on the tiny island of Mauritius that is
situated in the Indian Ocean. Like the
neighbouring island of Madagascar, Mauritius broke away from the
African continent when the land first split, causing it's wildlife to be
extremely unique and the dodo is no exception.
The dodo had a large body, stubby wings, a small, curved tail, short
legs, and a large beak. The feathers of the dodo were grey, black and
white in colour and the large curved beak of the dodo is one of it's
most distinctive features.

YELLOW-EYED
PENGUİN(ENDANGERED
ANİMAL)
The yellow-eyed penguin is one of the few penguinspecies found north
of the Antarctic Ocean, and as it's name suggests,
this species of penguin is easily idenitfied by it's yellow coloured eyes
and bright yellow band that runs from it's eyes round the back of the
yellow-eyed penguin's head.The yellow -eyed penguin is found off the
coast of the south island of New Zealand where this species gathers in
colonies along the beaches and boulder fields. The yelloweyed
penguin is also found on a few of the islands of the
main island including Stewart, Auckland and the Campbell Islands.
The yellow-eyed penguin generally searches for food up 10 miles
offshore, and travels (on average) around 15 miles away from the
colonies nesting site. The yellow-eyed penguinleaves the colony at
dawn and returns the same evening during chick rearing, although
may spend 2 or3 days at sea at other times.
