The dodo was a medium-substantial estimated flightless flying creature that was found on the Island of Mauritius in the 1590s and was announced terminated not as much as after a century, in 1681. Notwithstanding the turkey-sized assemblage of the dodo, it is thought to have been most firmly identified with littler winged animals, for example, birds and pigeons.

The dodo occupied the tropical timberlands on the modest island of Mauritius that is arranged in the Indian Sea. Like the neighboring island of Madagascar, Mauritius split far from the African mainland when the area first part, creating its untamed life to be to a great degree novel and the dodo is no special case.

The dodo had a huge body, thickset wings, a little, bended tail, short legs, and a substantial nose. The plumes of the dodo were dark, highly contrasting in shading and the vast bended nose of the dodo is one of its most unmistakable elements.

The dodo is a huge measured winged creature that adjusted to an existence without expansive ground-staying predators, which prompted the dodo to act curiously for a fowl. Regardless of having wings, the dodo was not able to fly as they were too little and frail to bolster the adjusted group of the dodo. The dodo was additionally known not been brave of the European intruders which at last prompted the end of the species.

The dodo ate ready organic product that tumbled to the ground, eating the product of the Tambalacoque tree (which is regularly called the dodo tree). This long-living tree is presently in peril of elimination since it relied on upon the dodo for its own particular multiplication; its seed can just (sprout) in the wake of experiencing the digestive arrangement of the dodo (the seed has a thick covering).

In its local backwoods on the island of Mauritius, the dodo had no regular predators until people arrived toward the end of the 16th century. Anyway, it wasn't only the people that chased this amicable and compliant winged creature, the dodo alongside their homes where chased by the creatures that people carried with them including pooches, felines and monkeys.

Because of an absence of regular predators, the dodo developed to making its home on the ground where the female dodo would lay a solitary egg. The brooding time of the dodo egg is assessed to be somewhere around 4 and 6 weeks, when the dodo chick would incubate and be raised by its mom before getting to be free as it became more seasoned.

The dodo was likely flourishing with the little, place of refuge of Mauritius before it was assumed control by European pioneers who chased and ate the dodo, abusing its normally dauntless nature. The creatures conveyed along to the island frequently stripped the dodo's defenseless homes, prompting the elimination of the whole species in a little more than 80 years of human contact.
