The fact is, is that the British Museum had a complete specimen of a dodo in their collection up until the 18th century -- it was actually mummified, skin and all -- but in a fit of space-saving zeal, they actually cut off the head and they cut off the feet and they burned the rest in a bonfire.
事实上，在大英博物馆 直到18世纪 还收藏有一副完整的渡渡鸟标本 实际上这是个保有皮肤的完整的木乃伊标本 但是为了满足节省空间的热情 他们竟把头和脚都切下来 然后把其它的部分丢进篝火烧掉了
