To collect data about species alive right now

7. Comparing similarities between current organisms and fossils gives evidence that what happened?

What happened 500 years ago

Extinction of plants and animals

Jurassic Park the movie

Evolution

8. Why are there species found in Australia that are not anywhere else in the world?
