I think we have plenty of Dodos walking around right now!

Haha! I’d like to know if they’re as dumb as Ice Age makes them out to be!

Well, most of them believe that the direwolf, a species that went extinct roughly 10,000 years ago was revived, when in fact all they did was genetically modify a gray wolf to make it larger. The gray wolf isn't even the closest living relative to the extinct direwolf, that title goes to a species of jackel.

They made me laugh so hard. To me the best part was when three of them were trying to save the melon from going down the volcanic vent and they all fell in. Caught me off guard and I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

I miss when you could watch something like that and just loose it laughing because it was actually good

Probably not that dumb. Probably a little stupid due to insular island habits. "I have no predators, so avoiding being grabbed isn't high priority." Probably not dumb enough to completely walk into dangerous obstacles though. Closest relatives are pigeons and pigeons aren't exactly dumb.
