Description: The dodo was a large, flightless bird that lived only on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It went extinct in the late 1600s, less than a century after it was discovered by humans. The dodo was not afraid of people and had no natural predators before humans arrived. When Dutch sailors landed on Mauritius in 1598, they hunted dodos for food. But hunting was not the main reason the bird disappeared. The sailors brought animals with them, like rats, pigs, and monkeys. These animals ate dodo eggs, which were laid on the ground, and competed for food. Because of this, fewer dodo chicks survived each year. The dodo also lost its forest home as humans cut down trees for buildings and firewood. This destroyed the bird’s habitat and food sources. In just a few decades, the dodo population dropped quickly. The last confirmed sighting of a dodo was in 1662. The story of the dodo is a warning about how human actions can harm the environment and wipe out a species. It shows how fast a species can disappear when it cannot adapt to sudden changes. Today, the dodo is a symbol of extinction, reminding us of the need to protect animals and their habitats before it’s too late. Though the dodo is gone, its story helps scientists and conservationists learn how to prevent similar losses in the future.
