There are so many misspellings in this quiz. Also, the first letter of the first element of each scientific name should be capitalized. 'canis lupis' should be 'Canis lupus'. 'haliaeetus leococephalus' should be 'Haliaeetus leucocephalus'. 'ursus maurtimus' should be 'Ursus maritimus'. 'odocoilus virginianus' should be either 'Odocoileus virginianus' or 'Odocoeleus virginianus'. 'felis cattus' should be 'Felis catus'. Additionally, neither the domestic cat (Felis catus) nor the black rat (Rattus rattus) is a North American native. They were both introduced by Europeans post-Columbus.
