History
Many events of the Jurassic Park franchise took place in the United States.
In 1997, a male Tyrannosaurus and his infant were transported from Isla Sorna to the mainland, where he went on a rampage in San Diego in search of his infant. This was known as the San Diego Incident and it was how the public became aware of InGen's dinosaurs. Originally, the two animals were supposed to be attractions in Jurassic Park: San Diego, but the plan was set aside after the incident and the two were shipped back to Sorna.
An organization headquartered in San Francisco, Dinosaur Protection Group, was created to protect and advocate the dinosaurs' rights as a species.
In 2018, dinosaurs were taken to the mainland again due to the eruption of Mt. Sibo on Isla Nublar. They were originally going to be reallocated to a sanctuary by Sir Benjamin Lockwood, but businessman Eli Mills auctioned them off instead, which led to them being released into the mainland and spreading worldwide.
After the dinosaurs spread throughout the country, the Department of Fish and Wildlife began to deal with the dinosaur matter.
A locust epidemic was spreading throughout the US in 2022, but it was eradicated after the Biosyn incident and efforts from Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant to prove Biosyn was responsible for it.
