Weißkopf-Seeadler

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.

Dunkelstreifiger Scheidling

Volvariella volvacea, the paddy straw mushroom, is a medium-sized mushroom with a distinctive volva at the base, grey-brown cap, and pink gills arising from free cultivation in tropical Asia for millennia. It grows on rice straw, compost, and decaying plant matter in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast and East Asia. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes agricultural residues, particularly rice straw, and is widely cultivated as a food mushroom.
