On Mauritius in 1650, and remained until 1800 on Rodriguez. They died of being hunted by humans and the eggs being eaten by pigs and monkeys who were introduced to the islands which are in the Indian ocean.

∙ 9y agoDodo birds were last seen alive in 1662. They were probably wiped out by introduced species that humans brought to the islands where Dodo birds lived. These animals, such as rats, cats, and dogs quickly destroyed Dodo nests until there was eventually no new offspring to replace the adult Dodo birds.

The Tambalacoque tree,also known as the "dodo tree", was hypothesized by Stanley Temple to have been eaten from by Dodos, and only by passing through the digestive tract of the dodo could the seeds germinate; he claimed that the tambalacocque was now nearly extinct. The Dodo birds possibly ate the fruit of the "dodo tree" not the tree itself. Of course, the dodo bird is now long extinct.

Why is the dodo bird becoming extinct?
we have to blame humans and animals According to Wikipedia:- When humans first arrived on Mauritius, they also brought with them other animals that had not existed on the island before, including dogs, pigs, cats, rats and crab eating macaques which plundered the dodo nests, while humans destroyed the forests where the birds made their homes. The dodo bird is extinct because when man were alive the cut down all of the trees and dodo birds then had nothing to eat because dodo bird used to eat fruit of the trees of Mauritius island. ALSO I HAVE NO CLUE !!! Because it was defenceless. When people arrived on the previously un-peopled island of Mauritius, people walked up to them and clubbed them on the head, and some other animal invaders ate their eggs and young. This drove the dodo to extinction - and the expression 'as dead as a dodo'.
Are dodos dangerous?
Dodos certainly are not dangerous now - they have been extinct since the late 17th century. Nor were they dangerous prior to their extinction. They were not afraid of people, and, once they were discovered in 1598, became easy prey for both hungry humans, and introduced species.
