鸠鸽科鸟类

AI overview

The dodo was a large, flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean until it went extinct, and it is notable as a member of the pigeon and dove family whose closest living relative today is the Nicobar pigeon. The dodo's extinction makes it a significant example of a species that disappeared, and it shared this fate with its closest relative, the Rodrigues solitaire, another flightless bird from a nearby island.

渡渡鳥（學名：Raphus cucullatus）又称毛里求斯愚鸠、愚鸠、孤鸽，是已灭绝的渡渡鸟属的唯一物种，属鸽形目鸠鸽科，仅产于南印度洋马达加斯加岛东侧的模里西斯島上，是一种不会飞的鸟。罗德里格斯渡渡鸟是本属的姐妹群，亦已灭绝。曾有人认为白色的渡渡鳥存在于留尼旺岛上，但之後被判定應為留尼旺孤鴿，且同樣滅絕。现在与本属亲缘关系最近的现生种为綠簑鳩（Caloenas nicobarica）。这种鸟在1505年被人类发现后，仅仅200年的时间裡，便由于人类的捕杀和人类活动的影响，大量減少。在1660年代前後，彻底灭绝。它是人類歷史上第一個被記錄下來，因人類活動而絕種的生物，是除恐龙之外最著名的已灭绝动物之一。
