It’s become a symbol for extinction; the dodo is a semi-mythical creature which most of us know only through Alice in Wonderland.

But one particular dodo was the victim of a crime – murder.

Its skull now sits in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. And it holds the clues to a thrilling mystery which illustrates a little-known colonial legacy.

Season Two is co-produced with CBC Podcasts.
