Águila cabeza blanca
El ave nacional de los Estados Unidos y símbolo del éxito conservacionista americano, el águila cabeza blanca tiene una envergadura de hasta 2,4 metros y habita bosques y humedales próximos a aguas abiertas en toda Norteamérica. Casi extinta en la década de 1960 por el envenenamiento con DDT y la caza, se recuperó de forma notable gracias a las prohibiciones de pesticidas y la Ley de Especies en Peligro.
fustete
<em>Cotinus coggygria</em>, commonly known as the Common Smoketree or Eurasian Smoketree, is a deciduous shrub or small tree in the family Anacardiaceae, order Sapindales. It has not been evaluated on the IUCN Red List, but the species is widely cultivated and naturalized across temperate regions, suggesting populations are generally stable. The common name refers to the feathery, smoke-like inflorescences that develop after flowering, produced by elongated, hairy pedicels that persist and give the plant a hazy, ethereal appearance. Native to a broad range from southern Europe through central Asia and China, <em>Cotinus coggygria</em> is typically found in rocky slopes, scrubland, dry open woodlands, and calcareous or well-drained soils in warm temperate climates. It is widely distributed across Europe, including Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, and Germany, and is also cultivated in Canada and the United States. The leaves turn striking shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn, making this a popular ornamental plant in horticulture. As a woody plant, it obtains nutrients through soil absorption and photosynthesis. The wood and bark contain tannins and have historical uses in dyeing and traditional medicine. Specific data on lifespan and precise dimensions vary considerably with growing conditions.
