What did the dodo birds do to survive?
The dodo did not in fact survive. The reasoning for this is thought to be because the dodo's beack had grown too big for it to be able to consume any more food. All the food that was small enough to get into holes which are small did so, and therefore, the dodo did not manage to survive on the little food sources which were now available to it in small loads.
Why are dodo bird an endangered species?
The Dodo bird is not an endangered species; it is an extinct species of bird. It is widely known that dodo birds became extinct because of human intervention; they were doing fine, minding their own business, until humans found these to be a good source of food and sustenance. So humans hunted them until their hearts' content, devoured their eggs and fed any remains to the hunting dogs.
Dodo birds are extinct - period.

Why was the plesiosaurus extinct?
Pterosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago during the same cataclysmic event that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs and 75% of Earth's species. Most scientists believe that this event, the K-T Extinction, was the result of a 6 mile wide asteroid that smashed into the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, leaving a 100 mile wide crater. So much dust and ash was launched into the atmosphere that sunlight was blocked for months or years. This caused plants to die, and thus the animals that ate them also died. In turn, the carnivores starved, and that would have included the pterosaurs.
Answer2: That dinosaurs existed abundantly throughout the earth, in an ancient landscape long ago vanished, is obvious from the fossil record. But these amazing creatures, along with countless other animal and plant kinds, passed out of existence. As to just when these things took place, paleontologist D. A. Russell states: "Unfortunately, existing methods for measuring the duration of events that happened so long ago are relatively imprecise." Fossil record does not yield its secrets so easily and that no one on earth today really knows all the answers.
Listing some speculations as to what happened to them, Princeton scientist G. L. Jepson stated:
"Authors with varying competence have suggested that dinosaurs disappeared because the climate deteriorated . . . or that the diet did. . . . Other writers have put the blame on disease, parasites, . . . changes in the pressure or composition of the atmosphere, poison gases, volcanic dust, excessive oxygen from plants, meteorites, comets, gene pool drainage by little mammalian egg-eaters, . . . cosmic radiation, shift of Earth's rotational poles, floods, continental drift, . . . drainage of swamp and lake environments, sunspots."-The Riddle of the Dinosaur.
It is apparent from such speculation that scientists are not able, with any certainty, to answer the question: What happened to the dinosaurs?
Why were the dodo birds not afraid of humans?

Which bird lays the second largest egg in the world?
Dromiceiidae: The Emu. Emu and cassowary eggs both vie for the title of the second largest egg, second only to the ostrich. Emu and cassowary eggs are basically the same size.
Dodos certainly are not dangerous now - they have been extinct since the late 17th century.
Nor were they dangerous prior to their extinction. They were not afraid of people, and, once they were discovered in 1598, became easy prey for both hungry humans, and introduced species.
What caused the extinction of dodos?
The dodo bird was particularly clumsy and flightless making them very easy to catch. Due to this fact people would hunt and kill the bird indiscriminately and eat its eggs. This meant the only 200 years after the bird was discovered, it became extinct.
On which island did the now extinct dodo bird once live?
They came form MAURITIUS, a small island in the Indian Ocean.
How was dodo useful to human beins?
Yes. In fact they were, their feathers were quite beautiful so those were used for decoration and clothing, their bones where dense and strong (because they were Flightless Birds, so their bones were of a different density than the birds of flight, who had light and poris bones) so they could be used for building spears and weapons, and their meat was quite tasty. In fact the last known person to try Dodo meat was Daniel F. Mathew, who stated that it tasted remarkably like veal. All these factors actually contributed to its extinction. Because of its usefulness the native human tribes killed them off for their resources.
Is a dodo bird from the dinosaur age?
Stone Age refers to when human beings used stone tools. There were no human beings at all until all the dinosaurs (unless one counts birds) were long dead, so, no, dinosaurs are NOT from the Stone Age.

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.
Why did many people believe the dodo to be a figment of an artist's imagination?

This really depends on what level surfer you are and where you live.
For beginners, it's best to surf at a patrolled beach when the surf isn't over your head.
For casual surfers, whatever the beach throws at you is usually OK, whenever you want to go out.
Pros travel everywhere and surf waves of all sizes.
