First sighted around 1600 on Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean, the Dodo was extinct less than eighty years later. A lot of the birds were eaten by the Dutch sailors who first discovered them when they landed on the island but records state that the meat of the Dodo was hard to chew and very fatty. However, the primary causes of their extinction where the destruction of the forest (which cut off the Dodo's food supply), and the animals that the sailors brought with them, including cats, rats, and pigs, which destroyed Dodo nests and ate their eggs.
