Dodo guide
On income alone, the Dodo looks out of place in Prehistoric: $280/s in a zone where the next pet up, the Pterodactyl, already makes $22K/s. Its value is somewhere else, in a 90-second egg that hands out a surprisingly large Speed reward.
A Speed egg disguised as a Rare
The Dodo Egg grows in 1m 30s and pays +240k Speed and $28k. That is the shortest timer in Prehistoric, and the Speed reward is bigger than what most Abyss Ocean eggs give (the Shark gives +90k). Measured per minute of growth, the Dodo returns about 160k Speed, far more than its zone-mates with longer timers.
If you have just arrived in Prehistoric and are pushing toward Cosmic, which requires 700M Speed, cycling Dodo eggs through a spare pen slot is a cheap way to add Speed while bigger eggs grow elsewhere.
Where it comes from

Rankings and estimates
The Dodo is the top earner among Rare pets (10th of 10 counting from the lowest) and 175th of 198 overall. With the formula the wiki documents (marked beta), a Golden Dodo would reach about $700/s, a Rainbow one about $980/s, and a copy at 100× its base weight about $4.79K/s. Even Rainbow plus 100× weight stays near $16.8K/s, below an unmutated Pterodactyl.
Rift and Laboratory demand
The Dodo is an Easy-tier requirement for the Riftbeasts and Shattered Rift sacrifices, and the Laboratory's Biohazard banner lists it as the Rare pet from the Prehistoric egg, so keeping a few copies around is useful.
