Why did the humans destroy the dodo's habitat?
Humans did not plan to destroy the dodo bird, but that is exactly what happened. When they were first discovered the dodo was very easy to catch as it could not fly and wasn't afraid of people. They became a popular source of fresh meat for passing ships. As a result, they were rapidly hunted to extinction. The introduction of pigs, rats, and cats to the island also helped wipe them out.

The "Zen influence" can be found on two levels:
1. It is not so much in the words themselves, but in the experience it describes.
2. Buddhist terms with the same pronunciation as some key words in the poem.
#1 is impossible to explain, it must be experienced.
As for #2:
hototogisu is a "season-word", something that is included in almost all haiku and hokku (this poem is a hokku). This particular season word is a species of bird, but indirectly refers to the summer.
ho is also the pronunciation for the Buddhist Teachings, 法
toto also means "attainer of perfection" 度得
gisu also means "pillar", or "center", å®—
shima also means "that which is derived", i.e. interpreted/analyzed, æžæœ«
You could therefore also hear the poem as:
Attaining the perfect core of the Buddha's Teachings - it disappears - all separation becomes one.
The poem itself is a reference to a much older poem found in the Kokinshū (#409).
Can the dodo be revived from extinction?
yes it can be but it is very difficult because you need DNA which can have gaps due to old remains causing defects during cloning or you need a frozen dodo which is impossible since they live in warm climate
The dodo was first dicovered in 1581 by visitors to the island of Mauritius.
What was the dodo bird's diet?
Their diet consisted of fruit and they made their nests on the ground. The Dodo bird did not fly.
The tambalacoque, also known as the "dodo tree", was hypothesized by Stanley Temple to have been eaten from by Dodos, and only by passing through the digestive tract of the dodo could the seeds germinate; he claimed that the tambalacocque was now nearly extinct due to the dodo's disappearance. He force-fed seventeen tambalacoque fruits to Wild Turkeys and three germinated. Temple did not try to germinate any seeds from control fruits not fed to turkeys so the effect of feeding fruits to turkeys was unclear. Temple also overlooked reports on tambalacoque seed germination by A. W. Hill in 1941 and H. C. King in 1946, who found the seeds germinated, albeit very rarely, without abrading.[17][18][19][20]

The dodo was a flightless bird that became extinct when sailors killed them for sport and food. Having no predators where they lived, the dodo had become flightless and trusting enough to fall easy prey to sailors.
dodos lived in mauritius. mauritius did not have people living on it till 15 something. the people that settled there, the dutch, hunted them for their meat and bones.
What animals lived on Pangaea?
Pangaea existed from the Permian, about 299 million years ago, through the Triassic, and into the early Jurassic.
There were very different animals in Pangaea during the Permian than there were in the Triassic because, at the end of the Permian, about 90% of species became extinct in the worst mass extinction in Earth's history.
PermianInsects in Pangaea included beetles, dragonflies, and flies. Early in the Permian, large amphibians and pelycosaur reptiles, like the carnivorous, sail backed Demitrodon, or the herbivorous, sail backed Edaphosaurus. Later in the Permian the archosaurs evolved, which later gave rise to the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and crocodillians. There were also therapsids, the reptillian ancestors of mammals. TriassicThe temnospndyli, which were large amphibians, and therapsids both survived the Permian extinction event. Archosaurs were the primary terrestrial vertebrates. There were herbivores such as Hyperodapedon, and carnivores like Postosuchus. The first dinosaurs were small meat eaters like Eoraptor, and small, long necked, herbivorous dinosaurs called prosauropods, evolved in Panagaea during the Triassic.Where does the saying dead as a dog come from?

Why does it matter if animals go exinct?
This question is in league with asking 'why does it matter if the moon were to be destroyed?' We eat animals, we experiment on animals, we learn from animals. Just because you are not the one doing the research doesn't mean you're not benefitting from it. Think before you speak, could be a lesson to consider. - Jake
from what i see you don't care .just to let you know we are part of the animal kingdom us humans areat the top.
Man introduced species which the dodoes were not adapted to handle. As giant pigeons, they had lost the ability to fly, so it was easy for dogs to catch them. They nested on the ground, so rats could easily eat their eggs.
Yes, Dodo birds existed. There are sketches and drawings, and there are also skeletons and fossils. Don't ask such stupid questions anymore.

Dodo birds were Dutch birds. They don't live in our world anymore because the Dutch pirates and community ate them. Dodo birds could not fly and they were giant birds weighing 25kg or more, at least seven times the weight of any pigeon which can fly. Dodo lived on Mauritius island, in the Indian Ocean.The island were discovered by the Portuguese. But soon, French and English ships now stopped there.Sailors used to kil dodos for food. Another extinct which led to the rapid extinction of the dodos was the fact that pigs and monkeys factor ate the dodo eggs, and the pigs killed off the parent birds. the fact that the dodo was a flightless bird was an obvious disadvantage. the dodo bird survived until 1681,and is multiplied extinct. thank you for reading.

Did anyone try to save the dodo bird?
The Dodo bird has been extinct for 400 years, but a smaller lookalike relative called the Manumea bird, also called the tooth-billed pigeon, still exists on two islands in Samoa. It is on the endangered list and consideration is being given to changing that to critically endangered. Conservationists are learning more about the Manumea in order to create an effective recovery plan, since the population of 7,000 in the 1980s has been drastically reduced to a few hundred. One of the methods being considered is captive breeding.
