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 Orange Daylily

<em>Hemerocallis fulva</em> is a robust, clump-forming perennial herb in the family Asphodelaceae, native to Asia and widely naturalized across Europe, North America, Australia, and parts of Africa and South America. It is recorded in Eswatini, six Asian countries, twenty-eight European nations, Canada, the United States, and Brazil. The species typically thrives in grasslands, wetlands, roadsides, forest edges, and cultivated landscapes. Its striking orange, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in summer and are the source of its common name. Unlike most lilies, daylily blooms last only a single day, though multiple buds on each stem extend the flowering period. The species spreads primarily through rhizomes, forming dense colonies that can outcompete native vegetation in introduced regions. Its conservation status has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN. Flower buds, flowers, and young shoots of <em>Hemerocallis fulva</em> are used in East Asian cuisine and herbal medicine, though some concern exists about its mildly nephrotoxic properties in cats. Biological traits including average lifespan, body measurements, and dietary ecology remain poorly documented in standardized databases for this horticultural species.
