Pygargue à tête blanche

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.

asiminier

<em>Asimina triloba</em> is a small deciduous tree in the family Annonaceae, native to eastern North America, with records from Canada and the United States, and naturalized or cultivated occurrences in Japan and São Tomé and Príncipe. It is the northernmost member of the predominantly tropical custard apple family and produces the largest edible fruit native to North America. The species typically inhabits rich, moist bottomland forests, stream banks, and shaded woodland understories, forming clonal thickets through root suckering. Its flowers are pollinated by carrion flies attracted to their fetid odor, and fruits are consumed and dispersed by large mammals. The large, elongated fruits have a creamy, banana-like flesh with a complex tropical flavor. The IUCN classifies this species as Least Concern across its native North American range. <em>Asimina triloba</em> serves as the sole larval host plant for the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body measurements, and detailed dietary ecology remain poorly documented in standardized databases. It has gained increasing commercial interest as a cultivated fruit tree in organic agriculture and sustainable food systems.
