Subfossil remains show the dodo measured about 62.6–75 centimeters (2.05–2.46 ft) in height and may have weighed 10.6–17.5 kg (23–39 lb) in the wild. The dodo appearance in life is evidenced only by drawings, paintings, and written accounts from the 17th century. Since these portraits vary considerably, and since only some of the illustrations are known to have been drawn from live specimens, the dodos exact appearance in life remains unresolved, and little is known about its behavior.
