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.

Staphylococcus gallinarum is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, first isolated from poultry. It is part of the diverse Staphylococcus genus, which inhabits skin and mucous membranes of vertebrates, and is generally considered a commensal species. Its name derives from the Latin word for chicken, reflecting its original host association.
