Dodo
An extinct, flightless bird that once lived on Mauritius.
The dodo was a large, flightless bird endemic to the island of Mauritius that became extinct in the late 17th century. As a member of the pigeon family, it had a stout body and a large hooked bill. European settlers hunted the dodo for food and introduced invasive species, which contributed greatly to its demise by around 1681. With no natural fear of humans and unable to fly, the dodo was particularly vulnerable. Today, the dodo stands as a poignant symbol of human-driven extinction and highlights the importance of conservation efforts.
