How the dodo got extinct?

Answer:

The Dodo lived on a typical island with absolutely no enemies, no predators coming to eat the Dodo. Which means it had no reason to protect itself. Thus it has low defense, cannot fly, etc. So when humans came, they brought dogs and whatever other animals who find the Dodo delicious. And the population soon decreased and brought down to extinction.
