Aigle royal
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.
Sphingobacterium yanglingense is a yellow-pigmented Gram-negative bacterium first described from Yangling, China. It inhabits agricultural soils and plant-associated environments in East Asian regions. This aerobic chemoheterotroph decomposes organic matter and contributes to soil microbial diversity in temperate agricultural landscapes.
