Nice one! I gave it to my mate and he was struggling with it so much, he didn't even hear me saying dodos are extinct! What he said the answer was, was that the rest had to be dodos, cos they live in south america! He gave me such a laugh when he read the answer!
THAT WAS SOOO EASY!!
realllllly easy!!!!!
When I said the answer to myself, I said the real answer word for word before looking at it!
That was easy! I got the answer but not the reason...I thought none but i thought none because it never said there were any dodo birds!!!
very easy.. what person dosent know that dodo's are not real

i thought it was easy. and grilledcheese i got ur message. i showed it to my boyfriend. lol
Yeah that was totally obvious
oh...i got it right...in a different way...thought dodos were just shown on the disco ad...and werent real...some people deserve to be high-fived...in the face...with a chair...off a building...that is 12 storeys high...onto concrete!
I think the answer should be clarified. It should go "None. Dodo birds are extinct, and even if they still existed, it isn't likely they would be kept as pets. During the time dodos existed, they weren't kept as pets anyway."
