Its closest relatives are pigeons and doves, even though dodo birds were much larger in size. Due to aggressive human population, Dodo birds became extinct in late the 17th century. Learn more about this curious creature and its tragic demise.This program focuses on the Dodo in nature and art and why it became the poster child for all extinct species.
