Dodo – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Related to pigeons and doves, it stood about a meter tall, weighing about 20Â kilograms (44Â lb), living on fruit and nesting on the ground. The dodo has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century. [1] It is commonly used as the archetype of an extinct species because its extinction occurred during recorded human history, and was directly attributable to human activity.
