The dodo of the genus brisson and family Columbidae is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian ocean. So, the correct answer is 'Mauritius'.

An endangered species is a species that is at high risk of becoming extinct. Plants have the highest number of endangered species. Mammals have 177 endangered species which represents 3.8% of all the species. Similarly, birds have 188 endangered species which represents 1.9% of all the species. Reptiles, amphibians and fishes have 47, 32 and 158 endangered species representing 0.7%, 0.7% and 0.6% respectively of all the species in each group.

When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. The process is a completely natural part of evolution. But sometimes extinctions happen at a higher and a faster rate than usual. Factors such as large body size, small population, and position at a higher trophic level favour extinction. 533 animal species have become extinct since 1600 AD.

• Calculating the percentage of existed species that are extinct can be difficult because no one knows exactly how many species there are. 
• Scientists have identified that of all species that have existed on Earth, 99.9 % are now extinct. Many of them perished in five catastrophic events.
• Hence 99% of existed species are extinct.
• So, the correct answer is '99% of existed species are extinct'.
