 The only extant remains of dodos taken to Europe in the 17th century are a dried head and foot in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History , a foot once housed in the British Museum but now lost , a skull in the University of Copenhagen Zoological Museum , and an upper jaw and leg bones in the National Museum , Prague . The last two were rediscovered and identified as dodo remains in the mid @-@ 19th century . Several stuffed dodos were also mentioned in old museum inventories , but none are known to have survived . Apart from these remains , a dried foot , which belonged to the Dutch professor Pieter Pauw , was mentioned by Carolus Clusius in 1605 . Its provenance is unknown , and it is now lost , but it may have been collected during the Van Neck voyage .
