The Cuban Treefrog, latin name Osteopilus septentrionalis, is originally found (native) to Cuba, the Isle of Youth, the Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas. Cuban Treefrogs are estimated to have been introduced into the Florida ecosystem in the 1920s. It is widely agreed by scientists in the Florida ecological community that the Cuban Treefrogs came into Florida through shipment and freight packages coming from the Caribbean. Quickly, this invasive species flooded through Southern Florida, and by 2013, they had spread their population to the very Northernmost end of Florida. Potentially, the Cuban Treefrog can spread to surrounding state habitats; South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas have suitable, coastal ecosystems that could support a Cuban Treefrog population.

The tyrannosaurus rex seem in control at the Jurassic park because every time the tyrannosaurus did damage to the people or the surface around him, the people never had the right tool to kill the animal or stop it and when you do not kill an animal

Stephan Lautenschlager, a bio mechanist from the University in England, created computer models of three dino jaws by using pictures and 3-D scans of well-preserved fossils. Causing him to discover how far a dinosaur could open its jaws. He found very little research on the muscles and tendons of a dino’s jaw, so he gathered information on their closest relatives, birds and crocodiles. With this information he was able to make computerized models of the skulls of 3 dinos. The allosaurus fragilis, T-Rex, and the erlikosaurus andrewsi.
