Best Answer

They were called "dodos" as a reference to their slow, awkward, and unhurried movement. They also lacked a fear of humans or animals, a response to the dearth of predators in their natural environment.

(The name may be from Dutch dodoor, sluggard, or dodaars, fat-arsed)

The species died out quickly, less than 80 years after their discovery, before enough generations would have adopted a quick "fleeing" response that protects other bird species.
