    		Roberts points out that because the sighting prior to 1662 was in 1638 (i.e. 24 years earlier), the Dodo was likely already very rare by the 1660s. However, statistical analysis of the hunting records of Isaac Joan Lamotius, carried out by Julian Hume and coworkers, gives a new estimated extinction date of 1693, with a 95% confidence interval of 1688 to 1715.

    Not every time you use the name of an bird are you actually talking about the bird itself. In each question the wrong bird's name is used. You must correct it. Don't be a dodo, find the right one.
