Answer:

Over-harvesting of the birds, combined with habitat loss and a losing competition with the newly introduced animals, was too much for the dodos to survive. The last dodo was killed in 1681, and the species was lost forever to extinction.

Dodo birds were flightless birds that were gray in color, about 3 feet tall, and weighed 22-40 pounds. The dodo bird lived on the island of Mauritius. They had large hooked beaks. They were flightless birds because they really did not have any predators to fly away from on the island.

The dodo may instead have used its large, hooked beak in territorial disputes. Since Mauritius receives more rainfall and has less seasonal variation than Rodrigues, which would have affected the availability of resources on the island, the dodo would have less reason to evolve aggressive territorial behaviour.

Over-harvesting of the birds, combined with habitat loss and a losing competition with the newly introduced animals, was too much for the dodos to survive. The last dodo was killed in 1681, and the species was lost forever to
extinction.

The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598. In the following years, the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species, while its habitat was being destroyed. The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662.

Here we use a statistical method to establish the actual extinction time of the dodo as 1690, almost 30 years after its most recent sighting. Its last confirmed sighting was in 1662, although an escaped slave claimed to have seen the bird as recently as 1674.

Why did Prince Prospero have all the people in the castle
mixer [17]

Answer:

In the beginning of the story, Prince Prospero invites one thousand of his friends to the abbey. These friends are drawn from the "knights" and "dames" of his court.

The reason that he  invited his friends to the abbey is to protect them from the Red Death.

So, he offers them sanctuary within the walls of his luxurious abbey. What he does not realize, however, is that nobody can escape the Red Death—not even the wealthiest and most protected.

I really hope this helped! I enjoyed reading "The Masque of the Red Death" written by Edgar Allan Poe. The story was really Interesting.

Have a Nice Day!!
