DINOSAUR DOO PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Andrew Weale,Joelle Dreidemy | 32 pages | 03 Oct 2013 | Hachette Children's Group | 9781444901634 | English | London, United Kingdom Dinosaur Doo by Andrew Weale Another relative, now extinct, was the Rodrigues solitaire, which occupied the Indian island ocean of Rodrigues and suffered the same fate as its more famous cousin. Like the dodo, the Rodrigues solitaire laid only one egg at a time, and it was completely unprepared for the human settlers that landed on its island in the 17th century. There was only a short interval between the "official" naming of the dodo bird and its disappearance—but an awful lot of confusion was generated during those 64 years. When they weren't busy hunting, clubbing, and roasting dodo birds, the Dutch and Portuguese settlers of Mauritius did manage to ship a few living specimens back to Europe. However, most of these unfortunate dodos didn't survive the months-long journey, and today these once-populous birds are represented by only a handful of remains: a dried head and a single foot in the Oxford Museum of Natural History and fragments of skull and leg bones at the University of Copenhagen Zoological Museum and the National Museum of Prague. Aside from the phrase "as dead as a dodo," the dodo bird's chief contribution to cultural history is its cameo in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , where it stages a "Caucus Race. Take the first two letters of the author's last name and the fact that Carroll had a pronounced stutter, and you can see why he identified so closely with the long-gone dodo. De-extinction is a scientific program by which we may be able to reintroduce extinct species into the wild. There are barely enough preserved remains of the dodo bird to recover some of its soft tissues—and thus fragments of dodo DNA—and the dodo shares enough of its genome with modern relatives such as the Nicobar pigeon to make surrogate parenting a possibility. Even still, the dodo is a long shot for successful de-extinction; the woolly mammoth and the gastric-brooding frog to name just two are much more likely candidates. Share Flipboard Email. Bob Strauss. Science Writer. Updated September 21, Fred loses his temper easily and is very impatient, but he seems free of malice and never holds a grudge. Although his loudness irritates the people around him, Fred proves friendly, often going out of his way to help others. Also, although Fred often annoys Wilma with his immaturity, he is known to go to great lengths to please his family and apologize when he goes too far. Fred's interests include bowling , playing pool , golf , poker and lounging around the house. Fred has won championships with his bowling skills; in one episode, he goes so far as to take ballet lessons in order to improve his game. In the fifth-season episode "Indianrockolis ", Fred entered the famed prehistoric auto race under the pseudonym "Goggles Paisano". Fred's catchphrase is "Yabba-Dabba-Doo! When the script called for a simple yahoo , Alan either asked if he could alter the phrase or he ad-libbed. It inspired, in the s a short-lived fruit drink called "Yabba Dabba Dew" and may or may not have also inspired George Jetson 's similar-sounding catchphrase, "Hooba-dooba-dooba" or "Hooba-Dooba". It does, however, become the subject of a song by Hoagy Carmichael which the singer-songwriter performs in one episode of The Flintstones. One early episode [31] sees Fred with Barney, who is a skilled drummer perform at a nightclub with his musician friend "Hot Lips Hannigan" where his singing caused teenage girls to swoon over him; on this occasion, he was nicknamed the " Golden Smog ". In another first-season episode, "Girls' Night Out", Fred recorded a demo record at a carnival of the song " Listen to the Rocking Bird ", which ended up making him a teenage singing idol named "Hi Fye". As the series progressed, however, his voice became worse and worse even during his success as a singer, Wilma was never impressed by Fred's voice , eventually to the point that a temporary maid the Flintstones hired quit rather than having to hear Fred sing. Due to his impulsive and short-tempered behavior and stubborn and somewhat selfish nature, Fred seems to be accident-prone. Even his most innocent and mundane actions often cause widespread confusion. At the end of the closing credits, Fred begins to knock the door of his house and starts yelling "Wilma", to open the door. According to the original series' third-season episode "The Birthday Party" originally aired April 5, , Fred's birthday is February 2. Fred's address has varied through the series' run, with addresses given for the Flintstone residence including Cave Stone Road, and Cobblestone Way. Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble were pitchmen for Winston cigarettes, the show's sponsor at the time. In one ad, Fred and Barney saw the men working hard at the quarry and decided to retire out of sight for a smoke break. After extolling the virtues of their favorite brand, Fred lit up and delivered the catch phrase: " Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. By the original series' third season, Winston had been dropped in favor of Welch's. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Fred Flintstone - Wikipedia Because the dodo bird had no natural enemies, females enjoyed the luxury of laying only one egg at a time. Most other birds lay multiple eggs in order to increase the odds of at least one egg hatching, escaping predators or natural disaster, and actually surviving. Ironically, considering how indiscriminately they were clubbed to death by Dutch settlers, dodo birds weren't all that tasty. Dining options being fairly limited in the 17th century, though, the sailors who landed on Mauritius did the best with what they had, eating as much of the clubbed dodo carcasses as they could stomach and then preserving the leftovers with salt. Just to show what an anomaly the dodo bird was, genetic analysis of preserved specimens has confirmed that its closest living relative is the Nicobar pigeon, a much smaller flying bird that ranges across the southern Pacific. Another relative, now extinct, was the Rodrigues solitaire, which occupied the Indian island ocean of Rodrigues and suffered the same fate as its more famous cousin. Like the dodo, the Rodrigues solitaire laid only one egg at a time, and it was completely unprepared for the human settlers that landed on its island in the 17th century. There was only a short interval between the "official" naming of the dodo bird and its disappearance—but an awful lot of confusion was generated during those 64 years.
