Alcanivorax venustensis is a marine gammaproteobacterium in the family Alcanivoraceae, specialized in degrading aliphatic hydrocarbons as a primary carbon and energy source. It is typically rare in unpolluted seawater but becomes highly enriched in oil-contaminated marine environments, playing a key role in natural bioremediation of petroleum spills. Like other Alcanivorax species, it has evolved extensive alkane hydroxylase systems for hydrocarbon degradation.

Белоголовый орлан

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.
