The Dodo was a flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It was a large, clumsy bird with a hooked beak and a distinctively bulbous body. The Dodo was notable for its friendly and fearless nature, which unfortunately contributed to its downfall. When humans arrived on the island in the 17th century, they brought with them invasive species such as rats, pigs, and monkeys, which devastated the Dodo population. Additionally, the Dodo's inability to fly made it an easy target for hunters. By the end of the 17th century, the Dodo was extinct. It has since become a symbol of human-caused extinction and a cautionary tale about the importance of conservation.
