The dodo was one of the strangest-looking animals that ever lived. These large birds had a long, green beak and lived on the island of Mauritius. Unlike most birds, they could not fly.
They got the name dodo because the sailors who discovered them thought they were stupid creatures. Dodos had no natural predators, so they weren't afraid of anything that might hurt them. This made it easy for people to hunt and kill the poor birds.
多多鳥(也稱為渡渡鳥)是世上曾經存在過的動物中長相最怪異的一種。這些大型鳥類有很長且綠色的鳥嘴,曾棲息在模里西斯島上。不像大部分的鳥類,牠們無法飛行。牠們被稱為多多鳥是因為發現牠們的水手覺得牠們是愚蠢的生物(編按:多多鳥的名字源自於葡萄牙語裡的「傻瓜」這個詞)。多多鳥沒有天敵,所以不用害怕有任何東西可能會傷害牠們。這使得人類能輕易地獵殺這些可憐的鳥兒。
