When the Portuguese inhabited the island Mauritius, they brought pigs, monkeys, and rats to the island. The animals started to eat the Dodo bird eggs, which caused their population to decrease. Another factor that lead the Dodo birds to extinction, was that the people living on Mauritius were killing the birds for food. The last Dodo bird died in 1681. ]]> 2017-05-23 19:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/100039699/4btxaax2dfam/wish/173478883 Bibliography 100039699 https://padlet.com/100039699/4btxaax2dfam/wish/173481336 The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica.
