 The front part of a skull ( specimen NMP P6V @-@ 004389 , a syntype of this species ) in the National Museum of Prague was found in 1850 among the remains of the Böhmisches Museum . Other elements supposedly belonging to this specimen have been listed in the literature , but it appears only the partial skull was ever present . It may be what remains of one of the stuffed dodos known to have been at the menagerie of Emperor Rudolph II , possibly the specimen painted by Hoefnagel or Savery there .
