8. The dodo is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius. The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598. In the following years, the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species, while its habitat was being destroyed. The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662. The dodo's appearance in life is evidenced only by drawings, paintings, and written accounts from the 17th century.
