In the last century, hundreds of weird and wonderful species went the way of the dodo.

在上个世纪，上百种奇妙而迷人的野生动物像渡渡鸟一样离开了。

Today, Dr. Nicolas Zuel and his team of conservationists are working hard to ensure other endemic species don't go the way of the dodo.

今天，尼古拉斯·祖埃尔博士和他的自然资源保护团队正在努力工作，以确保其他地方特有物种不会重蹈渡渡鸟的覆辙。

So in spite of the energy-saving advantages of flightlessness, many flightless bird species have only a short run before going the way of the dodo.

因此，尽管不会飞具有节能优势，但许多不会飞的鸟类在走上渡渡鸟的道路之前只跑了一小段路。
