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.

Fly Agaric

광대버섯(Amanita muscaria)은 지구상에서 가장 상징적이고 잘 알려진 균류로, 북반구 한대림 전역에 걸쳐 흰 반점이 박힌 선명한 붉은 갓을 드러낸다. 동화 같은 외모와 달리 무스시몰과 이보텐산 등 강력한 향정신성 화합물을 함유하며 중등도 독성이 있다. 자작나무, 소나무, 가문비나무와 필수 외균근 공생 관계를 형성하여 무기 영양분을 탄소와 교환하며 한대림 영양 순환에 핵심 역할을 담당한다.
