The story of the Dodos

I suppose everyone knows about the Dodo birds, an extinct species which used to live somewhere near Madagascar, on a sunny and tropical land. I'm sure they lived a happy life before people came to conquer their island. I actually read on the net that Dodos had no natural predators. That's why they didn't posses the ability to fly and they weren't able to defend themselves in any way. Their exact appearance and behavior is unknown. All those facts make Dodo the most mysterious bird ever. And I just love that! :-)
