    Explanation

When European sailors arrived on the island in the late 16th century, they brought with them invasive species such as rats, cats, and pigs, which preyed on the dodos and destroyed their eggs. Additionally, the sailors also hunted the dodos for food. These factors, combined with habitat destruction, led to the rapid decline and eventual extinction of the dodo population by the 17th century.
