Details
The dodo, now extinct, once inhabited the small island of Mauritius, located near Madagascar. This large flightless bird was easy prey for mariners and colonists as a food source. Overhunting coupled with the introduction of domestic dogs, cats, and pigs lead to the dodo's extinction in 1681. The dodo's name comes from the early Dutch and Portuguese who visited Mauritius who referred to it as sluggish and foolish in appearance.
