Museum quality skeleton of
Dick Cheney's great grand father to be auctioned

The first almost complete skeleton of a dodo to come up for sale in nearly a century is to be sold at auction.

The composite of the extinct flightless bird was put together from bones collected over a number of decades.

The private collector offering it for sale only lacked part of the skull and one set of claws when he assembled the specimen in the early 2000s.

It is being sold by Summers Place Auctions in West Sussex in November, and is set to fetch a six-figure sum.

'Icon of extinction'Director Rupert van der Werff said: "The rarity and completeness of this specimen cannot be overemphasised.

"It provides a unique opportunity for an individual or an institution to own a specimen of this great icon of extinction."

Down through history many humans have been consumed by animals, though.
So in that case I suppose the leopard might say, "That was an excellent side dish but the antelope was better."
Then they'd probably get into an argument about whether Mexicans were too spicy....
