The Dodo. An extinct bird and a character in the book. It's thought that Lewis Carroll
included it in his book because it might have represented himself.
Lewis Carroll is a pseudonym, the author's actual name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
"The Dodo is a caricature of the author. A popular but unsubstantiated belief is that Dodgson chose the particular animal to represent himself because of his stammer, and thus would accidentally introduce himself as "Do-do-dodgson".
