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.

Common dogmustard

<em>Erucastrum gallicum</em>, the common dogmustard, is an annual or biennial herb in the family Brassicaceae. This species has a broad distribution across Asia, Europe, and North America, with records from Japan, twenty-four European countries, Canada, Mexico, and the United States. It typically inhabits disturbed terrestrial environments such as roadsides, waste ground, agricultural margins, and rocky or sandy soils. Common dogmustard is characterized by its deeply lobed leaves, slender branching stems, and small pale yellow four-petaled flowers arranged in elongated racemes. The plant generally grows to 20–60 centimeters in height and produces narrow silique seed pods that split open at maturity to release small brown seeds. <em>Erucastrum gallicum</em> often thrives in nutrient-poor, well-drained soils and is considered a weed in some agricultural regions. Biological traits of this species remain relatively poorly documented in detail beyond basic morphological and distributional data available in the scientific literature.
