>>76393197Some large raptor birds from the continent to the North may occasionally glide to the island, but this is a rarity, and a particularly distracted dodo wading through the shallows for some molluscs can sometimes have a sea bear crawl out of the water and sneak up them, but pinnipeds are far from stealthy on land, so this is uncommon as well. Eggs and nestlings are very vulnerable, and so some smaller flying birds may sneak into the nests and make a meal out of those, although the dodo parents tend to guard the nests carefully, so this mainly happens when both parents are drawn away from the brooding grounds for one reason or another.
Their main predator is obviously the human, which is a relatively recent development in natural terms, though the intermittent settlement of Lorelei by humans dates back to the lost eons of history. It's a testament to the self-control of Loreleians that the Dodo hasn't been hunted to extinction, or mayhaps it is evidence the settlers weren't in large enough numbers to extinguish the species.
