Question

If some explorers found a small group of dodos (the extinct birds) in the wild somewhere, how do you think the world would react? Just curious.

Answer 3

Answer 4

they would be hunted back into extinction. duh.

Answer 5

Well, I think we have seen reactions similar, with the discovery of new animal species in the past few years, and the discovery of many archaeological finds - and you could not hear the sound of millions applauding or cheering.  I think we're pretty much a society where the scientists would be jumping for joy, and the rest of us would react with an "Oh wow!" and maybe try to plan a visit to the zoo or place where they might be seen.  I think the strongest reaction would come from school children and their families - they are in the learning process and it would be very exciting for them.  Now, the question you didn't ask, was what would happen if an extra terrestrial was found - and that you would hear the world jumping up and down and running for the tv to see.  I think we look more outward now - into space, and I think that's where all the future excitement will be.

Answer 6

Most of the world would just go Oh well, what else in new??
