The Dodo bird became extinct, and people observed that the population of Calavria tree also dropped. It was believed that there was a link between the two events. Investigate about it and make a report on your findings.

Explanation:
The dodo/tambalacoque obligate mutualism notion is not supported by the evidence. Reports of 1) germination of unabraded seeds in which the seed coat ruptures along a natural zone of weakness, and 2) living trees less than 300 years old, undermine the hypothesis that Tambalacoque seeds required abrasion in a dodo's gizzard before they could germinate. It is likely that the tambalacoque evolved a thick, tough seed coat in response to consumption by its dispersers, but there is no evidence that the seeds require abrasion before they can germinate
Answer:
The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, which is east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The dodo's closest genetic relative was the also-extinct Rodrigues solitaire. The two formed the subfamily Raphinae, a clade of extinct flightless birds that were a part of the family including pigeons and doves. The closest living relative of the dodo is the Nicobar pigeon. A white dodo was once thought to have existed on the nearby island of Réunion, but it is now believed that this assumption was merely confusion based on the also-extinct Réunion ibis and paintings of white dodos.
