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。

Common Rose-Mallow

<em>Hibiscus moscheutos</em>, commonly known as the common rose mallow, is a flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. Native to wetlands and marshy areas across eastern North America, this herbaceous perennial has been introduced and naturalized in parts of Brazil, Romania, and Taiwan. The species typically inhabits freshwater marshes, riverbanks, pond margins, and moist meadows, thriving in full sun to partial shade conditions. It produces large, showy flowers that can reach up to 30 centimeters in diameter, typically displaying white, pink, or red petals with a distinctive dark center. The plant can grow up to 2.5 meters in height under favorable conditions. Common rose mallow is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting its wide distribution and stable populations across its native and introduced ranges. It tolerates flooding and temporarily waterlogged soils, making it well adapted to riparian ecosystems. The species is pollinated primarily by bees and other large insects attracted to its prominent blooms. Biological traits such as average lifespan, typical body measurements, and diet remain poorly documented in standardized ecological databases. In cultivation, it is widely grown as an ornamental plant, valued for its dramatic flowers and adaptability to garden settings.
