5 Interesting Facts About Dodos!

The dodo lived only on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean and had no natural predators - which meant it had no fear of humans and was tragically easy to hunt.
It went extinct in the late 17th century, less than 100 years after Europeans first arrived on Mauritius - one of the most rapid extinctions ever recorded.
Despite its reputation, the dodo wasn't actually stupid - it simply evolved in a predator-free environment and had no instinct to flee. 'Dumb as a dodo' is deeply unfair.
The dodo was a type of pigeon - its closest living relative is the Nicobar pigeon, a beautiful iridescent bird found in the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
Scientists have now mapped the dodo's complete genome, raising the possibility - however distant - that it could one day be brought back through de-extinction technology.
