American Bald Eagle

흰머리독수리(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)는 미국의 국조이자 미국 자연 보전 성공의 상징으로, 날개 폭이 최대 2.4미터에 달하며 북미 전역의 수변 삼림과 습지에 서식한다. 주로 물고기를 포식하는 강력한 공중 포식자이자 청소 동물로, DDT 오염과 남획으로 1960년대에 멸종 위기에 처했으나 농약 사용 금지와 멸종위기종보호법 시행 이후 극적으로 개체수가 회복되었다.

Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

대서양참다랑어(Thunnus thynnus)는 세계에서 가장 크고 빠르며 가치 높은 어류 중 하나로, 단 한 마리가 300만 달러 이상에 거래된 사례가 있습니다. 역사적으로 과도한 어업으로 개체 수가 크게 감소하였으나 현재는 관리 조치 덕분에 회복세를 보이고 있습니다.
