That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The dodo's closest relative is the Southeast Asian Nicobar pigeon. This is because both species belong to the same family of birds, Columbidae. They share similar physical characteristics and behaviors, such as their large size and inability to fly long distances. Additionally, genetic studies have shown a close evolutionary relationship between the dodo and the Nicobar pigeon.
