Dodo
A long time ago, the dodo was a kind of large bird. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived on the earth happily until people arrived. Sailors in Europe found those birds in the 16th century in Mauritius Island. When they saw the strange birds, they were suprised. They even ate the birds. So a large number of dodos were killed.
