This famously extinct avian species may not be trotting around our planet anymore, but the dodo has certainly left an ecological imprint. If you've ever wondered just where the dodo bird disappeared from, the answer is Mauritius, an Indian Ocean island nation known for waterfalls and lush landscapes. Sailors claimed to have found white dodos on the nearby French-owned island known as Réunion, but it is now believed that they mistook a species of large, flightless ibis for a new species of dodo bird.
