Habitat & Geographic Range
ハクトウワシ
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Torazame
Typically found in marine environments from coastal waters to deep ocean.
ハクトウワシ
アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。
Torazame
Cloudy catsharks are small, benthic sharks in the family Scyliorhinidae known for their mottled, cloudy patterning of dark brown or grey patches and spots on a lighter background, providing camouflage against rocky reef and sandy seafloor substrates. Members of this group inhabit shallow to moderate-depth coastal and shelf waters across Indo-Pacific and Atlantic regions, living primarily as nocturnal predators of bottom-dwelling fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans. Catsharks are oviparous, depositing elongated, ridged egg cases often called mermaid's purses attached to coral, algae, or rocky substrate, from which juveniles emerge after weeks to months of development. Several Scyliorhinus species are locally common in their ranges, while others with restricted distributions face pressure from bycatch in commercial fisheries targeting shrimp and demersal fish with bottom trawls, gillnets, and longlines. Catsharks serve as important components of reef and shelf ecosystem food webs as both predators and prey of larger sharks and marine mammals. Most catshark species occupy relatively shallow, accessible habitats where human fishing pressure is greatest.
