The dodo was a large flightless pigeon found only on Mauritius. It had evolved without predators, so it nested on the ground. After sailors arrived in the late sixteenth century it was hunted, and the rats, pigs and monkeys they brought destroyed its eggs. The last widely accepted sighting dates from 1662, and it is the standard example of extinction caused by humans.
Rare, endangered and critically endangered all describe species that still survive, in increasingly threatened IUCN categories. No dodo survives, so none of them applies.
