Mauritius is a country consisting of a group of islands to the east of Madagascar. Originally discovered by the Portuguese, the land has no original native population. This is also the home of the Dodo bird, which was wiped out by way of hunting and the introduction of predatory animals by human settlers. After having been the possession of multiple colonial powers, today Mauritius is an independent country.
