      Really the opening statement itself is kind of flawed when you consider by default of course currently still living animals are outnumbered by the animals that made up several billions of years of the past in the constant cycle of living, evolving, dying and repeat over and over again.
      They weren't failures or primitive just because they died out, everything dies eventually, we're just the current living ones.

      SilvallyJay 07 The Dodo were not hunted by sailors for their meat....the Dutch sailors did try to eat Dodo meat, when they first arrived....and it was disgusting to the point of being almost inedible for a human.
      It was to do with the introduction of dogs and pigs on the Island that caused it...they took over as the main predators on the Island from the Dodo, plus the pigs ate the Dodo eggs...those were the causes...

      A beautiful explaination. We can also say humans invented racism to exploit other humans like black Africans and Native americans to use them in slavery. History proves that discrimination is very problematic and caused everyone to suffer.

    Dodo birds were are large flightless member of the pigeon family. They were found only in the Indian Ocean on the is of Maritius. They swallowed bitesized stones to grind the food they ate in their bellies because like any other bird they didn't have teeth to chew. They were actually smart birds but lucky for them they didn't have any land or sky predators like other species of birds, for e.g. chickens or wild turkey, and because of the scarcity of predators, they didn't know how to run away from danger like other animals, for e.g. Zebra whom run from lions and elk whom run from gray wolves, and when hungry sailors arrived they didn't know they were a threat and that was the beginning of the end of the Dodo. They're not mindless or dumb, their brave, fearless and friendly beings.

  • @PhilJHaast7695

    The Dodo adapted to survive in its natural environment. It was skilled at foraging for plants. Its ground laid eggs were probably vulnerable to land mammals brought by settlers. Those mammals also competed for food. It was perfectly competent in its native environment, but it could not survive human settlement.

      I shall not be harsh. But did you ever hear of the Island South Georgia, which is located in the South Atlantic, almost near to Antarctic Continent. Its an Englih possession. There, by the turn of the 20th. Century, the English built the greatest slaughtering complex that ever existed to kill and process mammals, in the case sea mammals. There they killed and processed the meal, the oil and the carcasses of hundreds of hundreds of millions of sea mammals, most of all whales, and this to the extent that they almost brought the blue whale to extinction. This magnificent animal will never recover, it is already on the brink of extinction, since there are only a few specimens left. This is one of the saddest histories of man's cruelty against animals.

    Human beings of the 16th century were primitive in thinking. Sailors hunted everything including each other. The beliefs of a 16th century sailor were based on antiquated religious teachings as there was no separation btwn church and state. The dodo in fact was most likely more genuine kind and intelligent then the average primitive carnivores 16th century sailor. Thank God the human race has evolved from the dark ages. Scientists have the complete genome sequence for this beloved bird and I do hope to see their restoration in my lifetime.
