Steinadler

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.

Nostoc sphaericum is a colonial, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium in the family Nostocaceae, forming gelatinous spherical or irregular colonies visible to the naked eye. It inhabits moist soils, rocks, and freshwater environments, often forming conspicuous blobs after rainfall.
