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.

Colombian Plump Frog

<em>Elachistocleis pearsei</em>, commonly known as the Colombian Plump Frog, is an amphibian species belonging to the genus <em>Elachistocleis</em> within the family Microhylidae, a globally distributed group of small to medium-sized frogs. This species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, indicating that its populations are currently stable and not at elevated extinction risk. It has been documented in Colombia and Venezuela, where it inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetland habitats. Microhylid frogs of this genus are typically burrowing or semi-fossorial, often emerging to breed in temporary pools following heavy rainfall. They are characterized by their rounded, inflated body form, which provides the basis for the common name. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented, though microhylids frequently specialize in consuming ants and termites. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The persistence of <em>Elachistocleis pearsei</em> is dependent on the maintenance of humid lowland habitats in northern South America.
