COMPLETE THIS TEXT ABOUT THE DODO

of ................................................. It was first seen

heavy ......................................... but could not fly. It
weighed ........................................ kilos and was

wasn't aggressive, and it had no predators. Sailors who arrived in the

dodos was the destruction of the forest and the animals that the
sailors brought to the island (rats, cats and ...........................) which
destroyed the dod's nests.
