The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is an extinct bird belonging to the pigeon family (Columbiformes) and the dodos subfamily (Raphinae).

The dodo was a stocky bird with small wings that were no longer suitable for flying. The dodo could only move on foot. Nevertheless, the dodo was not a flightless bird but a member of the pigeon family. The body color was gray to brown-grey, the ventral side and the wings were lighter in color. The animal was about three feet high and stood out for its long, downward curved bill. The beak reduced food, which consisted of seeds and fruits. In addition, the dodo could bite viciously with its large beak.

The dodo had no natural enemies in its habitat and as a result has gradually lost its ability to fly. The image of the enemy changed when people arrived in the form of Dutch settlers. It was not the people themselves, but mainly the animals they took with them that had a disastrous effect on the dodo. Rats and pigs in particular caused a real slaughter among the dodos, especially their eggs and young.

The dodo lived in the forests on the island of Mauritius and probably died out between 1680 and 1690. The bird symbolizes the disappearance of animal species as a result of the damage to nature by human action. It is therefore one of the most famous birds in the world, many books have been written about the animal.
