Doubtful. Fall off, yes. Jump off....there's no reason to think
that the Dodo was a diving bird. Though, one ragged
museum specimen and some bones don't answer all
the questions. It does stand to reason, though, if the Dodo
could have dove into the water for safety, the species might
have survived longer
(The Dodo was discovered in the late 1500s or early 1600s.
It is believed to have been extinct by the mid 1600s. Believed to
be due to human hunting, as well as the introduction of rats and pigs).
