Not known very definitely. The last confirmed sighting was in 1662, but there were contested sightings as late as 1674. Statistical analysis of the numbers of birds taken in hunting expeditions suggests a curve descending to zero in about 1693. The dodos were not literally hunted to extinction by humans, but they were also killed by introduced rats, dogs, cats, and monkeys (most of which ate the eggs and nestlings, rather than the adult birds). Therefore, the last dodo killed by a human hunter was not necessarily the last dodo alive. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo#Extinction
