However, the proposed phylogeny is questionable as regards the relationships of other taxa and must be considered less than reliable pending further research all that can be said with certainty is that the ancestors of the didine birds were pigeons from Southeast Asia, which agrees with the origin of most of the Sahara's birds. The same study suggested that the Southeast Asian Nicobar Pigeon is the closest living relative of the dodo and the Rodriguez Solitaire. DNA sequence analysis suggests that the dodo's ancestors diverged from those of its closest known relative, the Rodriguez Solitaire (which is also extinct), about 25 million years ago, in the deserts of the middle east these birds reached their impressive size as a result of the subsequent isolation of their desert homes in accordance with Foster's rule. The dodo is a close relative of modern pigeons and doves. In Looney Tunes Cartoons, he makes a cameo in " Happy Birthday Bugs Bunny!", and will appear in the upcoming short " Daffy in Wackyland".Dodo reconstruction reflecting new research at Oxford University Museum of Natural History In the multiconsole video game Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal, Yoyo appears as a non-playable character, and is finally given a first name: "Yoyo." He later reappears in Looney Tunes World Of Mayhem under the alias of "The Do-Do Bird". Eventually, though, Yoyo decides that The Justice League's Earth is the perfect place for him to start anew, and eventually sends the DC superheroes and the Looney Tunes back to their respective worlds (although he accidentally drops Michigan J. Mxyzptlk) soon attempting to merge the two worlds. Mxyzptlk, and together they develop a machine that transports the Looney Tunes into the world of The Justice League, with Yoyo (and later Mr. After his Dimensional Transporter drops him off in the Looney Tunes' world, Bugs Bunny helps him on his way by getting him to say a phrase to reboot The Transporter. His most notable appearance in the comics is the Superman & Bugs Bunny 4-issue mini-series, where it is revealed he had to leave Wackyland when they built condominiums there (because folks who live there have too many other problems to be annoyed by him). His appearances there depict him in greyscale as opposed to the colored backgrounds and characters in the comic. In spite of being a very minor character in the original run of Looney Tunes, Yoyo had his own younger-age counterpart in Tiny Toon Adventures: Gogo Dodo, who according to Paul Dini, is also his son, making him the only Tiny Toons character to actually be of relation to their Looney Tunes counterpart.Īfter Tiny Toons ended, Yoyo himself would make several guest appearances in the DC Comics Looney Tunes comic book. Yoyo also makes a very brief cameo in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Although the storyline is basically as before there, Porky uses a different method of capturing Yoyo: he disguises himself as a dodo bird himself, prompting the real dodo to handcuff him, allowing him to be close enough to hammer Yoyo (unlike in the original, Porky does not find out about the other dodos inhabiting Wackyland). Yoyo wasn't seen again in animation, except for a color remake in 1949, entitled " Dough for the Do-Do", where he is depicted with green plumage. While the bird questions this, Porky hits him with a mallet and captures him, at which point he calls a flock of other dodo birds appear to deny this one's statement that he is the last of their kind, overwhelming Porky and letting Yoyo kick him to the ground. Porky eventually does capture Yoyo by beating him at his own game, in the form of disguising himself as a bearded paperboy proclaiming that he's already captured Yoyo. As Porky soon discovers, Yoyo is a very formidable adversary who plays several tricks on him by messing around with the scenery. In "Porky in Wackyland", Porky Pig travels to the nonsensical locale of Wackyland in search of this creature, believed to be the last of the seemingly-extinct dodo bird. He also appeared in the color remake " Dough for the Do-Do". Yoyo is a green male dodo with red shoes, and a red umbrella sticking out from the top of his head, although some of his appearances have him in black-and-white. Yoyo Dodo, also known as The Dodo Bird, is a wacky bird who first appeared in the 1938 Looney Tunes short " Porky in Wackyland".
