I am curious about the extinction of dodos. Specifically, I want to know who or what caused their demise. Were they hunted to extinction by humans, or did some other factor contribute to their disappearance?

As the sailors introduced foreign animals like dogs, cats, pigs, monkeys, and rats to the island, these predators posed an additional threat to the dodos, feasting on their eggs and chicks.

Despite their efforts to adapt and survive, the dodos ultimately succumbed to the pressures of human intervention and introduced predators, becoming extinct in the late 17th century.
