The dodo bird's ancestors are believed to be pigeons, specifically a group of island-dwelling pigeons that adapted to life on the island of Mauritius, where the dodo was endemic. Genetic studies suggest that the dodo is closely related to the Nicobar pigeon, which is its closest living relative. The dodo evolved in isolation, leading to its unique characteristics and flightlessness due to the absence of natural predators on the island.
