Dodo Raphus Cucullatus - Two panes of 25

The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is a fascinating and iconic bird that has captured the imagination of people around the world. Despite the wealth of information available, there remains much we do not know about the life history and behavior of this unique species. The dodo was once widely distributed on the island of Mauritius, with the highest concentration in the lowlands and drier regions. Fossil evidence suggests that they were long-lived birds with slow reproductive rates, breeding at the end of the Austral winter and laying just one egg per year in a ground nest. The chicks of the dodo were known to grow rapidly, reaching almost full size within a few months. Dodos fed on fallen fruit and seeds and were perfectly adapted to the environment in which they lived. The Dodo, a flightless bird native to the island of Mauritius, faced rapid extinction after human arrival. First mentioned in 1599, the Dodo's demise occurred within 80 years. The introduction of pigs and rats proved detrimental, leading to the predation of eggs and chicks. With no natural predators, the Dodo's population was ill-equipped to handle the sudden influx of new threats. As a result, the species was unable to adapt and ultimately became extinct.

Bio : A collection of 100 poems, published by the Editions de L'Ocean Indien in the year 2019 and sponsored by the National Arts Fund, all dedicated to my muse, the inspirational power which drives my words. Most of the poems bear a strong spiritual imprint while the others have been written for international poetry contests, some of which have been placed among the winners while some others have not. Poetry is the manifestation of strong emotions and Mirrors of My Heart is the product of everyday writing. After all, what would the human being be without moods and emotions, if not a robot? The higher powers have deemed it well to construct us with these and we are to value these. We are to adjust, to adapt, to go with their flow even if that requires us to sit and laugh for a while or to sit and cry at other times. Writing is a mystical activity and as a poet, I give myself to it with lots of indulgence.

Notice

Fake profile claiming to be Mauritius Post Ltd on Facebook

We would like to bring to your attention the existence of a fraudulent profile on Facebook, which falsely claims to be representing Mauritius Post Ltd.

Mauritius Post Ltd informs its esteemed customers and the general public that, due to a substantial increase in the volume of air parcels and small packets, combined with limited cargo space on Air Mauritius flights to Rodrigues, the regular daily dispatch of these items has been temporarily suspended.  During this period, priority will be given to EMS services and letter mail, while the transportation of parcels and small packets will be subject to delays. Customers intending to send parcels using Colipost boxes (sizes S, M, L, and XL) are advised to use the sea freight service for shipments to Rodrigues.  We would like to reassure you that all parcels, up to a maximum weight of 10 kg, will continue to be accepted via Surface Mail. Mauritius Post Ltd has put measures in place to ensure that surface mail dispatches to Rodrigues occur at least twice a month to minimise disruptions.  We sincerely regret any inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. Mauritius Post Ltd remains committed to providing timely updates on the situation as developments unfold.  Thank you for your continued cooperation.
