Dodos still walk the earth, say one in four of the people asked by a wildlife charity.

In fact this bird, which was native to Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, became extinct about 450 years ago.

That same survey, done by WWF also suggests that almost a third of people did not know that the brachiosaurus is extinct.

Dinosaurs died out during the Cretaceous period, which was between 145 to 66 million years ago.

In sort-of-sad but not-that-surprising news

More adults in the poll could name Zayn Malik as the singer to recently leave One Direction, than could name the Amazon as the world's largest forest.

Six in ten could identify a Kardashian in comparison to fewer that one in ten knowing how many tigers are left in the wild.

The research, which was commissioned for the WWF's Wear it Wild campaign in June, also shows that many people are confused about which animals were endangered.

One in five of the 2,000 people asked think that Fresian cows are on the list. This is the breed that commonly provides the milk we drink.

A similar number are under the impression that grey squirrels - classified as a pest in the UK - are also endangered.

Grey squirrels, which were introduced from the US about a century ago, are widely blamed for the serious decline in the numbers of red squirrels in the UK.

A fifth also believe that the flamingo and the crane fly (also known as the daddy longlegs) is battling for survival.

Meanwhile about half of people do not know that the fin whale is endangered.

According to WWF, their global population is somewhere between 50,000 and 90,000.

The fin whale is the world's second largest mammal (behind the blue whale) and has a distinctive jaw; the lower right side is white, while the lower left side is black.

A quarter of those asked failed to identify that the mountain gorilla, the Bornean orangutan and the hawksbill turtle are all classed as endangered species.

More than half of people say they are concerned about declining wildlife populations.

"The survey suggests that there is an appetite in Britain to learn more about the state of the planet and its incredible wildlife," says Rachel Bloodworth of the WWF.

"Yet the results also show that we need to do more to help people feel empowered to protect our precious species."
