The dodo, a flightless bird native to Mauritius, became extinct in the late 17th century primarily due to human activities. With the arrival of sailors and settlers, the dodo faced habitat destruction and hunting, as it was an easy prey. Additionally, introduced species like rats, pigs, and monkeys preyed on dodo eggs and competed for food. These combined pressures led to its extinction by around 1681, just a few decades after it was first discovered by humans.
