Near-complete dodo skeleton expected to fetch ₹4.2 crore
An extremely rare, 95% complete skeleton of a dodo is anticipated to fetch around ₹4.2 crore (£500,000) when it goes on auction next week. The extinct bird's skeleton was put together over a period of 20 years by a private collector. Discovered by Dutch sailors in 1598, the flightless bird lived only on Mauritius and became extinct 70 years later.
