The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is an extinct flightless bird that once inhabited the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. It was fearless and had a nasty bite, due to its beak.
Some say the bird was extinct due to people coming to Mauritius and hunting the bird for food, as it was no afraid, it was easy prey for sailors and invaders. Some say it died due its natural habitat being destroyed by humans - stealing food and cutting down forests..
