Dodo birds are extinct due to the actions of humans...so, if you see animal now it was alive in the time of the Dodo bird. General consensus is that the last animal died in the late 17th earily-18th century.

It was indigenous to Mauritius Island had no fear of humans and couldn't fly so was easily caught.

The fact that humans brought dogs, cats, pigs et cetera (that ate eggs, chicks and birds) and destroyed much of their habitat along with consumption of the birds by people led to the extinction of the both the Dodo and the Red Rail (another flightless bird).
