zhithinaxilate: An organic compound and essential nutrient in the diet of the large, flightless dodo of Madagascar (Raphus cucullatus), which dodos received from consumption of the Sint Athanasius banana (Musa athanasia), so named by Dutch explorers of Madagascar in the 17th century--who, regrettably, also found this banana so incredibly delicious that they quickly denuded the island of this plant. The dodos, denied this vital nutrient, eventually weakened and became extinct not long after. And you thought they'd simply succumbed to habitat destruction and overhunting, didn't you? Current research into resurrecting the dodo as a species will of course hinge on the resurrection of the extinct Sint Athanasius banana; Anthony Bourdain has already vowed to hold a dinner party featuring roast dodo stuffed with bananas.
