Dodo

The dizzy dodo

The dodo is an extinct bird that is part of the pigeon family.

Description

It had a Brown,grey head,pink feet white body black,yellow,green curved  beak.  The dodo stood 3 feet tall and weighed about 40 kg. They couldn't fly,but they  could  run.

Diet

They Ate berries,fruit and seeds from the tambalacocque tree. Interestingly enough the extinction of the dodo lead to the extinction of the tree as well because the tree relied on the digestive system of the dodo for germination.  

Habitat  

Came from Mauritius  close to the indian ocean.

Extinction

extinction occurred because of humans in about 168.  Humans introduced cats,dogs and pigs into their habitat and they killed the young and ate the dodos eggs.

We wish they were alive now because they look quite cool.
