Dodos

Birds can become extinct for a variety of different reasons. Human hunting, loss of habitat resulting in a decrease in food, or severe climate events can lead to extinction.

Dodos are already extinct...ur late

you have to punch a small cat in the face and they wont be extinct anymore

Small mammals and small birds could compete with the Dodo for food.

While carnivores would kill the for food.

it was odd looking

The last dod bird died around 1680.......it's about 330 years.

The dodo was a flightless bird solely found on the the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius that became extinct in the mid-to-late 17th century. Related to pigeons and doves, it stood about a meter tall, weighing about 20 kilograms (44 lb), living on fruit and nesting on the ground. The dodo was a flightless bird that lived solely on the ground

yes You actually can eat the dodo bird but people say it doesn't taste good

They simply go and get it. Such proof includes things like old diaries and records of the explorers, accounts from historians and biologists, and old skeletons or stuffed dodos.

The Dodo bird.

That is something we will never know. As the Dodo is now extinct, thanks to the exuberance of the human race.

David Quammen suggested that it has a two-note pigeony sound like "doo-doo, hence it's name.

2-5 at a time

the dodo bird is extincted so we do not know

there were several groups of creatures on Pangaea. but for going the insects there where 4 major groups amphibians, anapsids diapsids and therapsids. the amphibians where remnants from the coniforus still large but not dominante on land anymore. anapsids accounted for a good chunk of life on land at this time. therapsids or so called mamal like reptials (eventualy evolved into mamals) where very common but the ones you know about are the diapsids. thees included crocidiles lizards and dinosaurs.

we have to blame humans and animals

According to Wikipedia:- When humans first arrived on Mauritius, they also brought with them other animals that had not existed on the island before, including dogs, pigs, cats, rats and crab eating macaques which plundered the dodo nests, while humans destroyed the forests where the birds made their homes.

The dodo bird is extinct because when man were alive the cut down all of the trees and dodo birds then had nothing to eat because dodo bird used to eat fruit of the trees of Mauritius island.

ALSO I HAVE NO CLUE !!!

Because it was defenceless. When people arrived on the previously un-peopled island of Mauritius, people walked up to them and clubbed them on the head, and some other animal invaders ate their eggs and young. This drove the dodo to extinction - and the expression 'as dead as a dodo'.

some people are dunderheads, and dodo birds are dunderheads too :D

they used to run abot 300 miles until they tried to jump of a cliff and fly but they wher to fat and pooped them self in mid air when they hit the groung the lived

'Little Loves'?

There are many extinct animals in India. They include dinosaurs, bharattherium, discoceras, exaeretodon, gigantopithecus, hyperdapedon, Indian aurochs, javan rhinoceros, pink-headed duck and eoalligator.

The Portuguese sailors became a predator to the dodo birds

you should go to sleep at 9:00 because 10 is too late and 8 is too early.

No one intended to cause the extinction of the dodo. The introduction of dogs and pigs to the island resulted in the accidental extinction of the dodo, which could not adequately defend against the new predators.

A variety of things might have helped

If they could fly

If they had predators, and had learned to be wary of the new arrivals on their island (European humans!)

They weren't confined to one location - Mauritius.

Because all birds are animals (not plants).

Not known very definitely. The last confirmed sighting was in 1662, but there were contested sightings as late as 1674. Statistical analysis of the numbers of birds taken in hunting expeditions suggests a curve descending to zero in about 1693. The dodos were not literally hunted to extinction by humans, but they were also killed by introduced rats, dogs, cats, and monkeys (most of which ate the eggs and nestlings, rather than the adult birds). Therefore, the last dodo killed by a human hunter was not necessarily the last dodo alive. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo#Extinction
