What kind of animal was the now extinct Dodo?
Correct answer: Bird
HarleyMidgeyMom95.
when i went to London, England for vacation a couple of years ago i went to the British museum and they had an exhibit of extinct animals and it was great sadness that i saw a stuffed Dodo bird a passenger pigeon and the tazmanian tiger. all of them extinct because of us. we should be ashamed that we killed these poor animals to extinction. i fear that here where i live in the south west that we will lose the anerican bison, the mustang horse and others ..just is sad.

We should do more to protect species that are at risk of going extinct. It is very saddening to know that any kind of being is the last of it's kind and there will never be another like it again. It is so... final. I believe death itself is enough as it is. There is no need for extinction.

As a Mauritian from what I've learned from my grandparents was that the Dodo was a feast for the Dutch people and the portugais they ate all of them grilled on wood fire how could they say that they were discusting animals Dodos only ate fruits and dried lentils or rice any dried beans at that time they were the only people who had the right to eat them people who were living on the island were looking after them were slaves and not allowed to kill animals

I to hope & pray that humans will realize the beauty of all creatures. Too see birds/animal & such become extinct is incredibly sad and 100% preventable. 😟

HarleyMidgeyMom95., and now the Japanese have started commercial whaling we can add them to the extinct list soon. It’s heartbreaking.

there are no stuffed Dodo anywhere in the World. The Natural History Museum in London England has a replica. The Great Museum of the North in Newcastle England was thought to have the only remaining specimen, but closer study proved it to be made from several different birds, and not all the pieces are genuine. Truly extinct.

HarleyMidgeyMom95., the American bison will never go extinct. There are farms that have since started raising them and they are slowly making a come back. Although, we'll never see them in the millions which we at one time had. Yes, it is very sad that the human race has destroyed some animals to extinction.

As tragic as it truly is, over the years, the decades, the generations, and the centuries we have learned that making any animal extinct is equivalent to genocide. Great strides have been made in animal conservation. The punishment for just interfering with Endangered Species is truly draconian.

OzzysUndies, yes. It’s also disgusting…

I am confused on how they discovered an island that had inhabitants on it already?? colonialization at its best

The Dodo bird, was such a majestic bird that lived on the island of Mauritius🇲🇺 until the sailors came and took their eggs away and also the rats who stole and ate the eggs as well as the introduction of cats who killed and ate the dodos. These factors contributed to their extinction.
Artie
a tragic example of extinction due to Darwinian survival of the fittest but remember we are a part of this process too. Now we know better and attempt to save endangered species

I think dodo birds are still portraited in movies/films

By the way my brother's name was Dodo, I gave him this name before 18 years ago
