Dodos, native to Mauritius, faced significant threats from introduced species and habitat destruction rather than specific illnesses. While they likely did not succumb to diseases in the same way as some other species, their population was severely impacted by invasive animals like rats, pigs, and monkeys that outcompeted them for food and preyed on their eggs. The combination of these factors, along with human hunting, led to their extinction in the late 17th century.
