Meet the dodo
A dodo was a bird that lived on Mauritius, a warm island in the Indian Ocean.
It had small wings, but it did not fly. It walked on strong little legs.
Dodos are not alive today. That means they are extinct.
We can still learn about them from bones, old drawings, and careful scientists.
