Plot twist: the manumea, aka the “little dodo,” just made a surprise comeback in a remote Samoan rainforest! Scientists thought this chunky, parrot-beaked pigeon was gone for good, but five sightings prove it’s still clinging to life. It’s the last of its kind and a total icon in Samoa, but with only a handful left, the race is on to save it from going the way of its infamous cousin. Nature’s not done with this underdog yet! #Science #dodo #manumea
