This bird, unable to fly, lived on Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
Dodos were not afraid of humans, so sailors could easily catch them and fill their boats with meat.
On the islands, there were no big predators to threaten the birds and they did not need to know how to fly. So when sailors landed with cats and rats, the dodos were lost in advance. Survivors who do not fly, like the ostrich, have defenses: powerful legs to escape or to hit the enemy
