Trivia Question

Trivia Question: What species of flightless birds went extinct in the 1700s due to overhunting?

Answer: Dodos

Dodos were infamously vulnerable to predation. With no ability to fly and little means to defend themselves, hunters could bag dodos with hardly any fight at all. The once-plentiful bird is now only preserved in historic and scientific records.
