I remember actually hearing that another big factor of dodo Extinction was actually the tortoises that also roamed the island If I remember correctly the tortoises were unbelievably amazing for sailing purposes as they held a large reservoir of clean fresh water as well as not needing that much to survive so they could literally grab some tortoises roll them onto the ship and store them as future food Where the dodo bird comes in is that the dodo bird did not actually taste that good so sailors did not eat them as much but it turns out you cook it with the fat of the tortoises and you have a very palatable dish and caused sailors to literally stop by the island and pick up a couple dodos and turtles for the long voyage This also means that if we had ketchup back then every animal would probably be extinct by now

Hilariously enough the nearly exact opposite happened to the Pygmy Sauropod's natural predator, Giant Azhdarchids. Basically, pterosaurs grew to massive monstrous sizes to prey specifically on the dwarf island dinosaurs. They retained the ability to fly so they can hop between islands and feast on the local inhabitants but overall didn't like to travel long distances. Then the land bridge happened. Containment of these giant nightmare storks finally broke, and they were unleashed onto the mainland. Becoming absolutely everywhere almost instantly. So one one hand, everyone got sauropod nuggets for a short time. On the other hand: THE TALL BOIS ARE LOOSE THE TALL BOIS ARE LOOSE-

They also laid just one egg per year because there was no need to lay more... Very bad when some trouble shows up.

Another fun fact about the Dodo is that by the late 18th Century some scientist even doubted that it even existed at all because of a lot of paintings with Dodos where they put stuff like phoenixes and unicorns and some people were especially convinced at one time when the Dodo was put in to Louis Carroll's classic novel Alice In Wonderland, but ironically at that time two complete Dodo skeletons dug up proved it existed and we've been studying it since then. One particular Dodo was kept as an attraction in England and was popular and when it died it was taken to Oxford after it got stuffed but later there were many parts of the stuffed dodo that got thrown away but the shriveled head and leg were saved and with the DNA on the Oxford Dodo is how ornithologists confirmed that it was a pigeon.

It's honestly sad how we'll never get to see what they really looked and sounded like.

Due to lack of fight or flight response, they might also have been the friendliest birds to exist, just like Capybaras are friendliest animal to exist.

As someone who's from the Island of Mauritius, I reckon a Kentucky Fried Dodo would be an impossibility but I do think the French who landed in 1710 did have had some Dodo au Vin! Although most concentrate on the extinction of the Dodo, which is fair, we tend to ignore the extinction of the Giant tortoises and other reptiles, birds, amphibians, insects & plants from Mauritius. The Dodo is not an isolated incident or a single link that was broken, they dumped the whole chain in the fire, leaving the few surviving links to struggle till date to form a smaller but proper chain again.

As a Mauritian myself, I confirm everything there is true. But just 1 more detail you may have forgot When the dodo was hunted it's "scream" made other dodos come, making the Dutch having a lot of dodos at the same while hunting only 1 I hope I explained it well-

@@0011peace You're right to an extent. In just a few trips, a few ships wouldn't be able to make Dodos go extinct. However, we didn't do it all at once. It took us 70 years. According to what sources I could find, there were at least around 500 million people around the time of the first recorded sighting of Dodos in the 1500s. If even just 0.01% of those people sailed out there in the 70 years they existed with us, that's 10,000 people, going to an island about 2 times the size of New York City, introducing predators like dogs and cats, while also destroying their habitat, and hunting them ourselves. You have to remember that they were a relatively small population of birds, that couldn't fly, stuck on a small island along a very commonly travelled trade route. It wouldn't be just a few ships every year, and it wouldn't just be humans. It would be dozens of ships, full of hundreds of hungry sailors, pet cats, aspiring hunters, new diseases, salesmen and plain old travellers. All of whom, sentient or not would want to try this exotic bird that doesn't even run away when you approach. From the standpoint of a sailor that is travelling open ocean, they'd want as much food as they could carry in case something went wrong. Some people likely came exclusively for the chance to try this bird's meat, because of how unique it was. In the same way we wiped out mammoths, giant sloths, and more. We simply showed up, and killed all of them. Sometimes for food. Sometimes for trophy hunting. Sometimes just because we can. It's just how we are. So yes, we definitely couldn't have killed them ourselves, but we didn't do it by ourselves. We brought invasive species, and destroyed their native ecosystem. It wasn't just Dodos that went extinct either. According to the IUCN Red List (International Union for Conservation of Nature) there are 47 extinct species that were native to that island. Not all of them went extinct at the same time, but almost certainly, all of them are pretty much our fault. Sorry for the rant. Your statement made me curious, so I looked it all up myself.

i honestly think these birds probably would've made great pets, i would've absolutely loved to have one as a pet. it upsets me so much that these big fluffy borbs are just gone forever because of how horrible humans can be. they were like the perfect size for cuddling, related to pigeons and doves (who also make good pets), and had like no fight or flight instinct so they would've been so friendly and docile. i really wish those people had at least took some back and bred them in captivity so we'd at least have a domesticated version still around.

Breeding attempts for the dodo was nearly impossible during the 17th century. Dodos can lay only one egg at a time due to the limited resources of the island. Many specimens were taken overseas to Europe and Asia but barely a few less than 10 to be percise survived their journeys. Dodo gestation and breeding requirements were unknown at the time. So unlike the chicken that can reproduce many eggs within a short time period also the chicken is known for being a much more hardy and well known bird. Dodos were not seen to be valuable or worth it in societies of the 17th century but during the 19th century their popularity exploded and become today an extinction icon.

I was literally OBSESSED with dodos growing up and i just loved how they were built and they looked so friendly… but then when i realised they were extinct i started crying. Imagine just having a dodo roaming around in your backyard

As a mauritian and the fact that what he is saying is quite true and I remember learning about dodo's extinction in 5th grade history class (6 -7 years ago or more I am in highschool btw if you're getting confused ) and basically they were hunted for food and also rats or the animals that were brought in mauritius ate their eggs since they laid eggs on the ground and it's sad to learn that dodo's went extinct because of human cause as child. I really appreciate that you made a video on our national bird and told people the real cause of dodo's extinction.

KFD sounds really good, but seriously though there is a batch of scientists looking to revive the Dodo, but I do not think they would survive anything. Honestly look at it this way, they don't run, they don't fly, they don't fear anything and don't fight back, this is literally a definition of perfect domestic farm birds that can be used alongside Chickens.

Ironically Capybaras are very similar to the Dodo bird

I remember reading that Dodo meat was not really tasty, but peoples eated it anyway all the time and didn't realise that this bird was only available on Mauritius and on small island next to it.

Life in mauritus -or any island- isn't easy in the slightest. There's no food (once you over populated so you become very competitive over territoty, mates, etc), water is scarce most of the year, climate is a nightmare, theres typhoons and tsunamis and shit, the're fires, diseases spread quicky and become epidemic (thats the reason why dodos had "featherless faces" for termoregulation and show their health) What happened to the dodo is what happened to all islands and specially birds. Not necessarily for been "friendly" coz most extinct birds in islands actually fly. Edit: it's called changes in the habitat and invasive species. Nice video btw really funny :D

Because deer, for want of a better phrase, evolved _with_ their predators to keep them in check, in a land of scarce resources. A form of symbiosis, if you will. Remove one part of the equation, and it falls apart. Mauritius apparently was Mana Island, and the dodos couldn't consume enough resources to make a dent in the ecology; presumably because they evolved _with_ that ecology. My two cents, for what it's worth.

one of the reason could be that Dodo's main source of food came from high up in the tree and being flightless birds all they could do was wait for the fruit to fall. In a sense their population was regulated by trees and season. Which in contrast with the deer, their food source grew very close to where they could easily overgraze .... you get the idea

I'm surprised at the other things people say they were told. I learned about Dodos on my own when I was in early grade school (early 2000's) through a biography on tv. I've always remembered something along the lines of "They became so comfortable and fearless because they didn't have any predators for so long, that they grew fat and were no longer able to flee once predators were introduced." I've always heard Dodos were dumb, but I know that's not why they died. They were gluttons who "had no worries" for too long, thus being too easy to kill. I don't really remember much else on the documentary. I do know that humans killed most nice things out there and continue to do so.

Geneticists have been talking about bringing back extinct animals using biogenetic manipulation for quite some time and it's been "underway" for years. My guess is that the major issue would be the changing of the RNA in Earth's virome. Any newly revived species would probably be poorly equipped to handle modern viruses, but this is just my theory as to the complications involved. I also assume it would be a painstakingly complicated task to genetically modify their immune systems to cope, but that is just an assumption. Of course there are many other implications that would lead one to believe an extinct species wouldn't last long if it were brought back - considering it went extinct in the first place. However this differs when dealing with animals that were recently hunted to extinction as I imagine their immune systems could potentially be ok.
