When did dodo go extinct?

Here we use a statistical method to establish the actual extinction time of the dodo as 1690, almost 30 years after its most recent sighting. Its last confirmed sighting was in 1662, although an escaped slave claimed to have seen the bird as recently as 1674.

Will males become extinct?

The short answer is NO. However, this doesn't mean that the Y chromosome itself won't disappear. Research shows that other mammals, including two species of rat, have lost their Y chromosome completely. However, in one of these species the SRY gene moved to the X chromosome.

Why the dodo went extinct?

The birds had no natural predators, so they were unafraid of humans. ... Over-harvesting of the birds, combined with habitat loss and a losing competition with the newly introduced animals, was too much for the dodos to survive. The last dodo was killed in 1681, and the species was lost forever to extinction.
