As dead as dodo

1510.

so they have not learned to defend themselves. The island of Mauritius is small and the dodo is helpless. So, to the Portuguese discoverers, they were dumb, so they named them dodos. The word "dodo" comes from the Portuguese "doudo" or "doido", which means stupid.

the inhabitants of the island and the animals they brought with them freely preyed on the dodo. At that time, there was no conservation organization like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and no zoos were set up to preserve, let alone raise, animals that were dying in the wild. In 1681, the last dodo died (the exact time of the dodo's extinction is generally believed to be 1681, but there are many other arguments) and an unusual species disappeared. A few decades later, all similar bird species on the neighboring island were also wiped out.

dead as a Dodo", which means disappearing completely and irretrievably. The word dodo is also used to refer to those who are slow, those who are behind.

of the interdependence of species: the island of Mauritius has a tree called the Calvaria tree, whose seeds do not germinate until they pass through the dodo’s digestive tract. The seeds are hidden in the fruit with a very hard shell, and the young shoots cannot break out of the shell by themselves. The dodo prefers to eat the seed of this tree, but instead of fully digesting it, it thins its shell and excretes it. Finally, the seeds and feces are excreted out of the body, and the seeds will germinate.
