Dodos were not the 'stupid', clumsy birds many people today think they were. They had a number of adaptations that made them hardy survivors in a fairly harsh environment, until men hunted them to extinction.
The dodo had a beak which was 22 cm long, and hooked at the end. This was perfect for the food it ate, which was fallen fruit, especially that of the Tambalacoque tree. It had truncated wings which it could use to fend off any possible attackers found on the island of Mauritius. For the most part, however, the island was predator-free, and thus the dodo adapted to life on the ground - it did not need to fly. Hence, it also made its nest on the ground. The dodo also had a tough skin, which made it difficult and unpalatable to eat.
