combed octopus

American Bald Eagle

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

combed octopus

<em>Eledone massyae</em>, the combed octopus, is a cephalopod mollusc in the family Octopodidae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the genus <em>Eledone</em>, it is distinguished from true octopuses by possessing a single row of suckers on each arm rather than the double row characteristic of the genus <em>Octopus</em>. <em>E. massyae</em> is a benthic predator that uses its arms and suckers to capture and subdue prey, which typically includes crustaceans, fish, and other invertebrates. Like all cephalopods, it possesses a highly developed nervous system and sophisticated behaviors including the ability to change skin color and texture for camouflage. Specific habitat description and geographic range data are not available for this species in the current record. The organism does not maintain biological traits such as a fixed body length or mass across individuals in a consistent manner for reporting here.
