The Dark Truth Behind the Dodo’s Extinction

Описание: Join us as we uncover the true story of the dodo. A bird that once thrived in isolation on the island of Mauritius, only to vanish within decades of human arrival.

Far from the myth of a foolish, clumsy creature, the dodo was a highly specialized species shaped by millions of years of evolution. It had no natural predators, no reason to fear, and no defense against the sudden arrival of humans and invasive species.
