In Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, InGen genetically engineered the Dinosaurs with spliced DNA. They filled in all the gaps in the dino DNA chain with frog DNA. They believed that they could engineer the dinosaurs to be of a single sex to prohibit natural population growth.
Unfortunately for them, certain species of frogs have been known to spontaneously change sexes. They first discovered this error when the population of raptors in the park grew from an expected dozen or so, to hundreds when they changed the park's search parameters to account for a higher than expected population.
I'm almost afraid to read a book after seeing its associated movie if I enjoyed the movie, because then I don't usually enjoy the movie as much afterward. Books can delve so much deeper into the plot lines than the movie, that it will almost certainly disappoint in relation to the story as told in the book.
Fun fact...

Nature... uhm, finds a way...
That's interesting. I haven't read Michael Crichtons book yet, I've only seen the movies

That's a fair rule, but in those case both Jurassic Park the book and movie are great.
