Now, you don't need me to tell you that we humans have greatly affected Mother Nature in multiple negative ways. From poaching animals for their body parts to the destruction of habitats. Among the many harmful things we do to the world's ecosystems is introduce invasive species into foreign ecosystems. Whether we do it by accident or if we don't want to keep an animal anymore and instead of being responsible we dump that animal in the wilderness. As a result of the ecological damage caused by

I'm a little late commenting on this, but a few months back an article was written that said T-Rex is a symbol of toxic masculinity. (https://slate.com/technology/2022/04/tyrannosaurus-rex-popularity-tired-paleontology.html#:~:text=In%20a%20sense%2C%20T.,meant%20to%20be%20a%20dinosaur.)

[SPOILER WARNING FOR JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION For as long as people have known of their existence, dinosaurs have always captured our imaginations. From movies, books, models, museums, merchandise, and much more, dinosaurs have taken their steps into pretty much every part of the entertainment imaginable.

The big cats are supreme hunters. Their keen senses allow them to track prey and their paws let them move through the land without making a single sound, one could pass by a bobcat and they wouldn't even know it. Despite this, they face their own set of challenges. In Asia, tigers are poached for their fur and bones and lions in Africa also have to put up with poaching for their bones and paws. All of them get into conflict with local people over attacks and livestock and on people. In North

Of all the Panthera cats, the leopard is by far the most adaptable. They have the largest distribution of the Panthera cats, ranging from South Africa all the way to the Russian Far East, but there's one part of the leopards range that's really weird: Indonesia. Java is home to a critically endangered population of leopards that are genetically distinct from leopards in mainland Asia, yet the nearby island of Sumatra has no leopards roaming its jungles at all.

In a large portion of their ranges across Asia, tigers and leopards often end up having to share their home ranges with each other as well as their prey, and in nature the bigger cats are dominant over the smaller ones, which means that the leopard is the one that has to be subordinate to the tiger. In one place located in the Himalayan foothills leopard densities decreased following an increase in tiger populations and when tigers were reintoduced into Sariska National Park, India it was
