The dodo went extinct around the year 1690, with statistical estimates placing the actual extinction date near then, although the last confirmed sighting was in 1662. Some sources note the species was extinct by 1681. The extinction occurred less than 200 years after humans discovered the dodo, around the early 17th century. Factors included hunting by humans, habitat destruction, and predation by introduced animals like pigs and monkeys on Mauritius Island. The dodo is a well-known example of human-induced extinction.
