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 Mint

Common Mint (<em>Mentha arvensis</em>), also known as corn mint or field mint, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the genus <em>Mentha</em>, family Lamiaceae. It is widely distributed across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, with confirmed presence in countries including Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, and Czech Republic. Its range encompasses the Seychelles in Africa, four Asian countries, and ten European nations. The species is found across multiple habitat types, including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, dry broadleaf forests, and coniferous forests, occurring within at least four distinct biome types in the Indomalayan realm. Common Mint is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the mint family, it typically produces aromatic foliage rich in menthol, and has historically been used in culinary and medicinal applications across many cultures. It typically spreads vegetatively through stolons and rhizomes in addition to producing seed. Detailed measurements of lifespan, length, and weight are not documented in available records.
