Chrysococcus cordiformis is a freshwater chrysophyte microalga in the genus Chrysococcus, class Chrysophyceae. The species epithet cordiformis — heart-shaped — describes the characteristic lorica shape of this species, a lorica being the rigid or semi-rigid outer case secreted by the cell that gives Chrysococcus its distinctive appearance. The heart-shaped lorica of C. cordiformis provides a clear morphological character distinguishing it from species with spherical, ovoid, or otherwise shaped loricas. Chrysococcus species are unicellular, loricate golden algae that inhabit freshwater ecosystems, particularly the euphotic zones of oligotrophic to mesotrophic lakes and ponds. C. cordiformis has been documented from Norwegian and Swedish freshwater environments, which provide cold, clear-water habitats typical of Scandinavian highland and boreal lakes. Records also extend to Brazil, indicating a wide geographic range consistent with the passive dispersal capacity of small, light-weight planktonic microalgae. The cells of C. cordiformis possess one or two flagella that protrude through an opening in the lorica, enabling active swimming in the water column. Photosynthesis is conducted using chlorophylls a and c with carotenoid accessory pigments. Chrysococcus species may also feed phagotrophically on bacteria. C. cordiformis has not been formally evaluated under IUCN criteria and retains a conservation status of Not Evaluated. It represents a characteristic member of freshwater chrysophyte communities associated with cool, acidic, or nutrient-poor Scandinavian lake systems.

Golden Eagle

세계에서 가장 강력하고 널리 분포하는 맹금류 중 하나인 검독수리는 날개 폭이 2.2m에 달하며 북반구 전역의 산악 지형에 서식한다. 뛰어난 공중 사냥꾼으로 활공 비행과 시속 200km 이상의 가파른 강하를 이용해 토끼, 산토끼, 땅다람쥐, 때로는 어린 사슴과 여우를 포획한다. 많은 문화권에서 수천 년에 걸친 매사냥 전통의 중심에 있어 왔다.
