Golden Eagle

Among the most powerful and widely distributed raptors in the world, golden eagles have wingspans reaching 2.2 meters and inhabit mountainous terrain across the Northern Hemisphere. Supreme aerial hunters, they use soaring flight and steep dives at speeds over 200 km/h to capture rabbits, hares, ground squirrels, and occasionally young deer and foxes. In many cultures they have been central to falconry traditions spanning millennia.

Micrococcus cohnii is a Gram-positive coccus in the family Micrococcaceae, found in soil, dust, and on mammalian skin surfaces. It is aerobic and non-motile, forming characteristically yellow-pigmented colonies on culture media. Named in honor of microbiologist Ferdinand Cohn, it represents one of several species within this diverse genus.
