The Dodo's Extinction (Writing 01) please do NOT correct contractions.
The lecture explained that the disappearance of the dodo was caused by human hunting. However, the speaker says that it was other factors that led to its disappearance.There are the following three reasons:
Firstly, humans did not like eating dodo. The dodo had a pretty horrible taste, thus, humans preferred to eat other small animals. This directly refutes the reading passage which states that the dodo was flightless, and it had weak wings, so it was easier for humans hunting them.
Second, other animals ate dodo. With the arrival of humans, others animals like dogs and pigs were brought to the island, and for this reason, they ate many dodos. Again this rebuts what is stated in the reading which stated that the dodo was unusually friendly and they lived isolated from humans and when humans arrived they approached them with lack of fear and dodos were hunted by humans.
Thirdly, humans introduced predators that never had existed into the area where dodos lived. It is the most likely evidence of the disappearance of the dodo. This opposes the reading passage which states that humans killed dodos in mass quantities.
