[Answer] Before its extinction, where did the dodo bird live?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Before its extinction, where did the dodo bird live?"



...The dodo bird, a flightless bird that became extinct in the late 17th century, lived exclusively on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. First encountered by Dutch sailors around 1598, the dodo thrived in isolation for centuries with no natural predators. Unfortunately, the arrival of humans brought hunting and invasive species like rats, pigs, and monkeys, which devastated the dodo population by preying on their eggs and competing for food. Within less than a century of its discovery, the dodo was driven to extinction.

[Answer] What invention was initially intended to serve as wallpaper?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What invention was initially intended to serve as wallpaper?"



...Bubble Wrap, now famous for protecting fragile items (and for being a stress-relieving toy to pop), was originally invented in 1957 by Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes as a type of textured wallpaper. The inventors sealed two shower curtains together, trapping air bubbles between them to create a padded, futuristic wall covering. As you might guess, it didn’t catch on. However, the material’s potential was soon realized when it proved to be an ideal solution for protecting fragile items, ultimately evolving into the iconic Bubble Wrap we know today.
