The invasion of humans on the island of Mauritius introduced many predators onto the island (dogs, cats, & other predatory animals). Not only this, but the dodo was considered a delicacy to the humans. The birds had not leaned to flee from predators, for they were not adapted to living near predators. As a result they were extremely vulnerable and, therefore, doomed.

The English fleet of ships had the advantage over the Spanish Armada because?
In the 1588 clash known as the "Spanish Armada", the English had several advantages over their Spanish opponents, and they made full use of them. First, their ships were more numerous, if also less well-armed, than the Spanish contingent. Second, their captains and crews were driven by the desperate need to protect their homeland, not simply win a battle. Third, they were superior sailors in general, and they gained the particular advantage of positioning themselves upwind of the Spanish fleet. Finally, they had luck on their side, as a powerful storm arose in timely fashion to sink or damage many of the Spanish ships.
